Rest Of India plays Saurashtra in the 2022 Irani Cup to make up for the 2020 tournament where Saurashtra was supposed to play but due to the pandemic the one-off game didn’t take place. ROI asked the 2019-20 Ranji Trophy winner to bat first. The bowler’s did a fantastic job by bundling up Saurashtra for only 98.
