Vidarbha seized control of the Irani Cup, ending Day 2 with a formidable 224-run lead over Rest of India. RoI collapsed for 214, despite Rajat Patidar's defiant 66, conceding a hefty first-innings lead. While Manav Suthar's spin offered glimpses of hope, Vidarbha's Dhruv Shorey and Danish Malewar stabilized their second innings, positioning them strongly for their third title.
