The Irani Cup match, originally scheduled to take place in Mumbai, will be relocated due to the city's extended monsoon season, affecting the crucial fixture between Ranji Trophy champions Mumbai and the Rest of India. The match is now likely to be held at either the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad or the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, as confirmed by multiple reports. Mumbai, led by Ajinkya Rahane, recently secured the Ranji Trophy title after defeating Vidarbha by 169 runs. The one-off encounter is set to take place from October 1 to October 5, marking Mumbai's first appearance in the Irani Cup since the 2015-16 season. Historically, the Rest of India team has been more successful, with 30 wins in 61 matches, while Mumbai has not won the trophy since the 1997-98 season. This relocation decision underscores the impact of weather on cricket scheduling in India.
