Ranji Trophy
Encyclopedia
The Ranji Trophy is a domestic first-class cricket
championship played in India
between different city and state sides, equivalent to the County Championship
in England
and the Sheffield Shield in Australia
. The competition is named after Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji (Jam Sahib
of Nawanagar
, also known as "Ranji").
The competition was launched as "The Cricket Championship of India" following a meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India
in July 1934, with the first fixtures taking place in 1934–35. The trophy was donated by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala. The first Ranji Trophy Championship was won by Bombay
after they defeated North India in the final. Syed Mohammed Hadi of Hyderabad
was the first batsman to score a hundred.
Mumbai (formerly Bombay) have been the dominant team in the Championship so far, with 39 wins, including 15 back-to-back wins from 1958–59 to 1972–73.
, Baroda and Hyderabad
) and two teams based in Delhi but with no regional affiliations (Railways
and Services
). Moreover, teams representing regions within a state also participate (Saurashtra and Vidarbha).
From its inception until the 2001-02 season, the teams were grouped geographically into four or five zones – North, West, East, and South, with Central added in 1952-53. Initial matches were played within the zones on a knock-out
basis until 1956-57, and thereafter on a league
basis, to determine a winner. Then, the individual zone winners competed in a knock-out tournament, leading to a final which decided the winner of the Ranji Trophy. In the 1970-71 season, the knock-out stage was expanded to the top two teams from each zone, a total of ten qualifying teams. This was expanded again to the top three from each zone in 1992-93, a total of fifteen qualifying teams; between 1996-97 and 1999-2000, the fifteen qualifying teams competed in a secondary group stage, with three groups of five teams, and the top two from each group qualifying for the knock-out stage; in all other years, a full fifteen-team knock-out tournament was held.
The format was changed in 2002–03 season with the zonal system abandoned and a two-division structure was adopted – the Elite Group, containing fifteen teams, and the Plate Group, containing the rest. Each group has two sub-groups who play a round-robin; the top two from each sub-group then contest a knock-out tournament to determine the winner. The team which finishes last in each Elite sub-group is relegated, and both Plate Group finalists are promoted, for the following season. For the 2006–07 season, the divisions were re-labelled the Super League and Plate League respectively.
In the 2008–09 season, the current format was adopted to allow Plate Group teams to contest the Ranji Trophy. The top two from each Plate sub-group contest semi-finals; the winners of these two matches then join the top three from each Super League sub-group in an eight-team knock-out tournament. The winner of this knock-out tournament then wins the Ranji Trophy.
Knock-out matches in the Ranji Trophy are decided on the first innings result if the final result is a draw.
