Irani Cup 2026: Top 3 wicket-takers

1. Mukesh Kumar (Rest of India)

Mukesh Kumar was the standout bowler of the Irani Cup 2026 match, finishing as the highest wicket-taker with 8 wickets in total across both innings. He bowled 27.4 overs, conceded 117 runs and returned a best bowling figure of 6/33. His average for the match was 14.62 and his economy rate was 4.22.

Mukesh Kumar and Akash Deep, both of who play for Bengal in domestic cricket, shared nine wickets between them and triggered a collapse in which J&K lost six wickets for 22 runs in nine overs after the post-lunch dismissal of Shubham Khajuria. Mukesh Kumar's 6/33 in the second innings was the decisive spell that sealed the result for Rest of India.
