Player of the Match

168/5 - 425. This is a recovery that can shatter the opposition. We will find out in ten minutes from now if Rest of India can recover from the disappointment and stretch the match into the fifth day. If it goes into the fifth day, it also means that they are in with a chance.

Rajpoot to Yash Thakur, OUT, finally the wicket they were after! As we have seen often, the batsman is dismissed just after the break. Fuller ball outside the off stump. He looks to flick and plays all over it. He misses and gets hit on the pad in front of the off and middle. 95 runs ahead

There have been many memorable performances in Irani Trophy. Performing well in Irani trophy meant being jettisoned to the Indian team as Sachin Tendulkar found out after scoring a ton in 1989/90. According to Vivek Razdan, he had Gursharan Singh to thank for the ton as the latter was injured and he came out to bat when Sachin was in the 80's. The rest we know, is history. What are your favourite Irani Trophy performances ?
