The Irani Trophy so far has been more or less dominated by the spinners - 3 of them - Murali Karthik, Kulamani Parida and Ramesh Powar. I would look to the performances of the spinners in the domestic season with keen interest because Harbhajan Singh's poor form in the ODIs means a spot could be up for grabs somewhere down the line.
Karthik took 5 wickets for 60 odd while both Powar and Parida took 7 for 115 odd in the match. While Karthik also scored 96 and can be an obdurate bat, Powar is a known big-hitter and good fielder - so these 2 would be of particular interest.
While on the topic of the Irani Trophy why o why is Rest of India such a weak team and is evidently going to go down comfortably ? I have a lot to say on this topic but for lack of time have to save it up for a later post.
