Rest of India's bowling unit performed like a well-oiled machine as the team thrashed Madhya Pradesh by 238 runs to retain the prestigious Irani Cup here on Sunday.
Chasing a near-impossible 437 for victory, MP were bowled out for 198 in 58.4 overs as the match ended during the opening session of the fifth day.
Seamers Mukesh Kumar (2-34), Atit Sheth (2-37) and Navdeep Saini (1-34) blew away the MP top-order while off spinner Pulkit Narang (2-27) and left-arm spinner Saurabh Kumar (3-60) took advantage of the deteriorating surface to mop up the lower order.
In the morning, MP skipper Himanshu Mantri (51) got a raw deal from umpire Rohan Pandit, who raised his finger when the batter hadn't actually nicked one behind the stumps. First-innings centurion Yash Dubey got a lethal in cutter from Mukesh Kumar and was cleaned up in the process.
