Mukesh, Akash Deep trigger collapse as Rest of India win Irani Trophy

Mukesh Kumar picked six wickets while Akash Deep accounted for three as Rest of India ran through Jammu & Kashmir's line-up after setting them a target of 279 to clinch the Irani Trophy in Srinagar. The fourth day's play began with Smaran Ravichandran carrying on with his century and attempting to swell the team's lead in the company of the tail. He could only add 13 more runs in the company of the last two batters before being dismissed on 135. It set the game up as J&K, who scored 278 in their first innings, were asked to chase one more than that to win the game. That however, did not transpire. Mukesh and Akash Deep ensured they got nowhere close to it.
