Rest of India win by 187 runs and this is the 20th time that they have won the Irani Cup. Harbhajan Singh and Kumble bowled according to the plan to pick up 6 wickets today, Harbhajan finishing with 4 wickets and Kumble with 3 wickets. For Delhi Gambhir played a fabulous knock. Overall a good team effort from the Rest of India team. Kumble lifts the Irani Cup.
