Irani Cup 2024-25: Contentious umpiring decisions raise eyebrows

An eventful day four of the Irani Cup match between Rest of India (RoI) and Mumbai at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Friday became even more dramatic with two contentious umpiring decisions.

Mumbai has a lead of 274 runs currently, setting up a massive total for Rest of India to chase. Will Mumbai bat Rest of India out of the game? Or lure it to chase a tricky total on fifth day surface in Lucknow?

What is the highest successful chase in Irani Cup history?

The record for the highest successful run chase in the tournament belongs to Rest of India which shot down a massive 480 runs against Mumbai in 2016.

Rest of India: Ruturaj Gaikwad (C), Abhimanyu Easwaran, Sai Sudharsan, Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ishan Kishan, Manav Suthar, Saransh Jain, Prasidh Krishna, Mukesh Kumar, Yash Dayal.

Mumbai: Ajinkya Rahane (C), Shams Mulani, Prithvi Shaw, Sarfaraz Khan, Ayush Mhatre, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Tamore (WK), Tanush Kotian, Shardul Thakur, Mohit Avasthi, Mohammad Juned Khan.
