Ranji Trophy winners l: Vidarbha near 3rd title in seven years | Cricket News

The 90th season of the Ranji Trophy will close on March 2, 2025 as Vidarbha close in on a third title over Kerala at their home ground at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha, Nagpur on Sunday. India’s premier red-ball tournament was established in the 1934-35 season and initially called as the Cricket Championship of India before being renamed the year after.
Bombay were the inaugural champions of the red-ball championship and has since established a staggering record with 42 title wins, the latest of them coming last year when they beat Vidarbha in the final at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Karnataka (formerly Mysore) are the second most successful team in the Ranji Trophy with eight titles.
Vidarbha made their maiden appearance in the Ranji Trophy final in the 2017-18. The Faiz Fazal-led side beat Delhi and proceeded to defend the title over Saurashtra the following season. Since 2001, only Mumbai (twice),  Rajasthan, Karnataka and Vidarbha have won the title in successive years.
