The Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium in Lucknow will host the Irani Cup match, according to sources. The extended rain has forced the fight, which was originally scheduled to take place in Mumbai, outside of the city. The Times of India reports that on October 1, Ekana would play host to the Irani Cup match between Mumbai, the winners of the Ranji Trophy, and the rest of India.

This renowned five-day match was originally scheduled to take place in Mumbai, which is well-known for its historic Wankhede Stadium. The BCCI has been obliged to reevaluate the location, nevertheless, as the prolonged wet season renders the environment inappropriate for a game of this magnitude.In March 2024, Mumbai, under the captaincy of veteran Ajinkya Rahane, defeated Vidarbha by a convincing 169 runs at the Wankhede Stadium to win the Ranji Trophy. Rahane and his team will get another opportunity to further establish their domination in the Irani Cup.
