  "account": "In a thrilling encounter, Rest of India (RoI) triumphed over reigning Ranji Trophy champions Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) by an emphatic 167 runs, clinching the Irani Cup for the 33rd time. The match was won on the fourth day after RoI successfully defended their first-innings total of 279 runs.\n\nPacer Mukesh Kumar played a pivotal role in the victory, securing two crucial wickets in the 13th over. He dismissed Shubham Pundir lbw for 9 and then bowled Paras Dograr, the top scorer in the first innings with 75, for a duck. Dogra's top score was the only hundred scored by J&K throughout the match. The two dismissals shifted the momentum in RoI's favor.\n\nMukesh's spell was captured in live commentary, where the commentator recalled his memorable request for an extra over. He had asked, \"Give me one more over and I'll give you two more wickets.\" The commentator described Mukesh's over as \"big fish,\" bemoaning the fact that he had \"caught\" him.\n\nAkash Deep contributed significantly to the win, finishing with three wickets. Together, Mukesh and Akash claimed nine wickets between them, finishing with impressive figures of 6/33 and 3/19 respectively. The RoI bowlers' relentless pace and accuracy played a crucial role in J&K's downfall, as the team was dismissed for a mere 111 in 28.4 overs.",
  "summary": "With Mukesh Kumar and Akash Deep bowling at full pace, Rest of India bowled Jammu and Kashmir out for 111 in 28.4 overs. RoI won the match by 167 runs and lifted the Irani Cup for the 33rd time, their first title since the 2023-24 season.",
