Mukesh Kumar's Six-Wicket Spell Leads Rest of India to Irani Cup Victory
Mukesh Kumar delivered a standout bowling performance in the Irani Cup final at Srinagar, taking six wickets to help Rest of India defeat Jammu and Kashmir by 167 runs. After an initial expensive spell, Mukesh convinced captain Sarfaraz Khan to give him another chance, leading to key breakthroughs that dismantled J&K's batting lineup. His consistent form this season has raised discussions about a potential India Test squad call-up, though Mukesh remains focused on maintaining his performance.
