25 Sep 2012 2:24 AM GMT
Rest of India notched up a comprehensive innings and 75 runs victory over Ranji Trophy champion Rajasthan on the fourth day of the Irani Cup match on Monday.
With a deficit of 311 runs against ROI who had declared their first innings at 607 for seven, Rajasthan resumed on 43 for one.
After Vinnet Saxena was unfortunately run out for 18, Hrishikesh Kanitkar and Robin Bist batted out of their skin to put up some resistance in the first session at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Kanitkar starred in a 66-run second-wicket partnership with Saxena and then added another 95 runs with Bist for the third wicket. Three run outs in their second innings hurt Rajasthan badly. Barring Kanitkar’s 73, innings that was laced with ten boundaries, none of the batsmen could capitalise to contribute.
