Wikipedia - Ranji Trophy
The Ranji Trophy is an annual domestic first-class cricket championship played in India. It is organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and teams representing the various member associations of the BCCI take part in the tournament. In the 2025–26 season, the competition was contested by 38 teams, including at least one team from each of the 28 states and four of the eight union territories. The matches are held across various cricket grounds and stadiums in India.
The championship was first organised in 1934–35, with the inaugural match held between Madras and Mysore at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium on 4 November 1934. When the tournament was founded, it was named as the "Cricket Championship of India". Before the second edition of the tournament in 1935–36, it was renamed after Ranjitsinhji, who was the first Indian to play international cricket. Since the inaugural edition, the tournament has been organised annually except in 2020–21, when it was suspended due to COVID-19.
Mumbai is the most successful team with 42 titles to its name. Vidarbha is the defending champion having defeated Kerala in the final of the 2024–25 Ranji Trophy.
History
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was established on 1 December 1928 at Madras. Anthony de Mello, one of the founders of the BCCI, proposed the idea of a national level, first-class cricket championship during a meeting of the BCCI at Shimla in July 1934. Fifteen teams contested in the inaugural edition of the championship in 1934-35. The first match of the competition was held on 4 November 1934 between Madras and Mysore at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium at Madras, and was completed on a single day.
Initially, the inaugural tournament was named as the "Cricket Championship of India". Bhupinder Singh, the Maharaja of Patiala, donated the trophy for the tournament, and suggested that it be named after Ranjitsinhji, the first Indian to play international cricket. The championship was renamed as "Ranji Trophy" ahead of the second season in 1935-36. The tournament has been held annually since its inception with the only exception in 2020-21, when the tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
