Ranji Trophy

HISTORY

The Ranji Trophy is named after one of India's first test cricketers, Ranjitsinhji, who played for England and Sussex.

Largely regional in nature, the Ranji Trophy can be summed up as a domestic first class cricket series played by various regional teams against one another.

 The series was announced in 1934, and the initial fixtures took place in 1934-35.

Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala donated the trophy.

The 2017–18 Ranji Trophy was the 84th season of the Ranji Trophy , the premier first-class cricket  tournament that took place in India between October 2017 and January 2018.

  Vidarbha won the tournament, beating Delhi by 9 wickets in the final, to win their first Ranji Trophy title.

 Vidarbha made their Ranji Trophy debut in the 1957-58 season , making it the third-longest wait before a team won their maiden title.

 Vidarbha's captain,Faiz Fazal, said that "winning the Ranji Trophy has been the biggest achievement in my career".

The previous season was played at neutral venues.

 For this season, the  BCCI agreed to return to playing fixtures at home and away venues after the neutral venue trial was unpopular with domestic captains.

 However, the knock-out phase of the tournament was still played at neutral venues
