Irani Cup: Winning Each Time Has A Different Feeling, Says Akshay Wadkar As Vidarbha Lift Title
Vidarbha Cricket Association: Vidarbha captain Akshay Wadkar on Sunday joined a unique list of cricketers to win the Irani Cup both as a player and as captain. Wadkar achieved the feat as Vidarbha defeated Rest of India by 93 runs on the final day of the match at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium in Jamtha here on Sunday.
Chasing a target of 361, the Rest of India were bowled out for 267 despite a valiant 92 by Yash Dhull and an unbeaten 56 by Manav Suthar, who raised hopes of an unlikely chase midway through the day. But the Vidarbha bowlers, led by pacer Harsh Dubey (4-73) and well supported by Aditya Thakare (2-27) and Yash Thakur (-47), helped the Ranji Trophy winners bundle out Rest of India for 267 and clinch a memorable victory.
It was a very satisfying performance for skipper Wadkar.
