Nothing highlights the democratization of Indian cricket more than the list of Ranji Trophy winners over the past eight seasons.


Since Karnataka won the last of eight titles in 2014-15, Saurashtra and Vidarbha have won the crown twice each, Gujarat once and Madhya Pradesh once. Powerhouse Mumbai booked the remaining two games but had to wait six years after winning the title in 2015-16.


Karnataka has seen this deepening mark at close quarters as it lost to Vidarbha and Saurashtra in its last few knockout matches. This should make it clear how serious a test awaits Mayank Agarwal & Co. when they take on Madhya Pradesh in the Elite Group C opener of the 2024-25 season at the Holkar Stadium starting from Friday.


Madhya Pradesh are the champions in the 2021-22 season and have reached the semi-finals in the subsequent two seasons. Under the guidance of the astute Chandrakant Pandit, the team has the likes of Rajat Patidar, Venkatesh Iyer, Avish Khan (Avesh Khan) and off-ball bowler Saransh Jain, which makes it a strong line-up.


In contrast, Karnataka is in a state of flux. While Mayank, Manish Pandey and Devdutt Padikkal form a reliable batting trio, Padikkal, who made his Test debut earlier this year, is expected to be in and out of the India A line-up before the senior team visits at a later date November before Australia.

  jeetbuzz British politicians want the England and Wales Cricket Board to take a stand against the Taliban regime's violations of women's rights and boycott the men's ODI against Afghanistan scheduled for February 26 in Lahore, Pakistan.

A controversial clue. The Indian women won the toss and batted first, scoring 370 runs, their highest ever ODI score, surpassing their previous best of 358 in 2017 against Ireland. But just when Del was about to get 100%, Arlene Kelly suddenly broke the deadlock. However, Rodriguez continued his impressive run in the final over, hitting the ball towards Kelly for the boundary from the off-side position. “I felt so relieved,” Rodriguez said of her first 100 points. “I am used to scoring hundreds in domestic cricket but lack a few in international cricket. “Sometimes you get a lot of overs and sometimes you don’t. I have to go back to the way I played in the U19s because I have played a lot of T20 games. The Indian bowlers managed to defend the huge total and finally Deepti Sharma ended the ma...
