Tamil Nadu is the most successful team having won the trophy five times. Saurashtra cricket team are the current champions, who won last edition by defeating Maharashtra in the final.[2]

In January 2021, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that the tournament would take place despite the 2020–21 Ranji Trophy being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India.[3][4]

Format

Until the 2014–15 season, 28 teams are split into 5 zonal groups as follows:

The two winners of pre-quarter finals join the remaining six teams in the quarter final stage. From the 2015–16 to 2017–18 season, the zonal groups were replaced with 4 groups of 7 each.

From 2018 to 2019 season, the teams were divided into 3 elite groups and 1 plate group. The 2 top elite group had 9 teams while 3rd elite group has 10 team. Plate group consists of 9 new teams. Teams are grouped based on average points in preceding 3 seasons.

Tournament history

From the tournament's inaugural edition during the 1993–94 season through to the 2001–02 season, no finals were held, and teams consequently played only within their zones, with no overall winner named.
