Vidarbha vs Rest of India, Irani Cup 2025: The final day of the Irani Cup 2025 clash between Vidarbha and the Rest of India witnessed some ugly scenes as Yash Dhull and Yash Thakur got involved in a heated altercation.

The instance took place after Vidarbha pacer Yash Thakur got the better of Dhull, who was playing for the Rest of India team. The incident happened on the first ball of the 63rd over. The right-arm pacer bowled a short delivery, and the right-hander went for an upper cut. However, he was unable to get hold of it properly, and Atharva Taide ended up taking a simple catch.

This resulted in Thakur celebrating the wicket in an aggressive manner, and his reaction was understandable as the game was hanging in the balance with Dhull going all guns blazing. This dismissal put an end to Dhull's remarkable knock of 92 runs off 117 balls.

However, Thakur's celebration didn't go down well with Dhull, who then charged back towards the pacer. Thakur also didn't back down, and it was then that the duo almost came to blows. The on-field officials intervened at the right time, and both players were separated from each other. Thakur's teammates were quick to react as well, and they took the 26-year-old away. Thakur was also seen speaking to the umpires, possibly complaining about Dhull.

The commentators weren't pleased with the actions of both players. At that time, Vivek Razdan said, "There was a bit of a tussle in the middle, as such was the atmosphere. But one should remember to know their limits. It is of utmost importance."

Talking about the match, Vidarbha ended up lifting the Irani Cup 2025 title as they defeated the Rest of India by 93 runs. Dhull and Manav Suthar came up with the fighting efforts against Vidarbha, stitching an impressive 104-run stand for the seventh wicket.

However, with Dhull's dismissal off Thakur, the gates were opened for Vidarbha as the final three wickets fell for just 30 runs. Notably, Thakur dismissed Dhull and Anshul Kamboj on consecutive deliveries.

This was the third time Vidarbha had won the Irani Cup, having previously achieved victories in 2017-18 and 2018-19.
