Mumbai was declared the winner of the match based on first innings lead. The Irani Cup is another feather in skipper Ajinkya Rahane's achievements, as the senior cricketer is looking to win consecutive trophies in red-ball cricket. One of the stars of Mumbai's win was spinner Tanush Kotian, who hit his maiden first-class century to help Mumbai rescue a tricky position on the final day. Despite securing a 121-run lead in the first innings, Mumbai were put on the back foot, crumbling to 171 for 8 in Lucknow on Friday.

Tanush Kotian becomes the troubleshooter.

However, Tanush Kotian and Mohit Awasthi made a brilliant effort, putting on 158 runs for the ninth wicket. After Awasthi's half-century at the end of the second session, both teams shook hands and confirmed the draw. Mumbai did not take the risk of declaring their innings and making the rest of India bat again, as they were well aware that the first innings lead was enough for them to secure the Irani Cup.
