Kuldeep Sen blew away the last two batters with scorching pace and steep bounce to finish with a haul of eight wickets as Rest of India (ROI) won their 29th Irani Cup with an eight-wicket victory over Saurashtra here today.

While Saurashtra gave a much better account of themselves in the second innings, their total of 380 meant ROI needed only 105 runs with almost two days of play left.

They knocked off the runs in a little over a session-and-a-half with Abhimanyu Easwaran remaining unbeaten on 63 while adding 81 runs for the unbroken third-wicket stand with wicketkeeper Kona Bharat (27 not out).

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
