What happened
Rishabh Pant's birthday happened to coincide with a remarkable comeback as the Rest of India triumphed over Jammu and Kashmir in the Irani Cup. Despite falling behind initially, the team rallied to secure a 167-run victory. Although Pant missed the action due to illness, he joined in the post-match festivities. Mukesh Kumar's exceptional bowling and young talent Ravichandran Smaran's innings were pivotal.
