Vidarbha Dominates Day 2 as Bad Light Halts Play in Irani Cup Clash

Vidarbha took command over Rest of India on the second day of their Irani Cup match, as inclement weather conditions brought play to an earlier-than-expected halt. Despite a loss of five crucial wickets, Vidarbha piled on 342 runs, setting a challenging target.

The Rest of India batters faced a formidable Vidarbha attack and ended the day trailing by 200 runs, at 142 for 5. Abhimanyu Easwaran's half-century was one of the few highlights in a day marked by Vidarbha's dominance.

Vidarbha's bowlers, led by Parth Rekhade's two wickets, ensured the team kept a stronghold on the match. Despite the early call for stumps due to bad light, Vidarbha remains in a strong position to take the contest forward.
