Saurashtra were crowned the Ranji Trophy champions for the very first time last week as they defeated Bengal in the final in Rajkot. Led by the irrepressible Jaydev Unadkat, Saurashtra finally won India’s premier first-class cricket tournament after finishing runners-up in 2019, 2016 and 2013.
It was another hard-fought season of red-ball cricket which saw Gujarat and Karnataka reach the semi-finals before going down to Saurashtra and Bengal respectively. In typical Ranji Trophy fashion, there was plenty of grit, determination, skill, planning and patience on display right through the season.
The combined statistics from the Elite and Plate groups will see quite a few entries from the latter. But it makes it impossible to simply look at the numbers and figure out who was most impressive, since there is a big difference in the level of competition in both groups.
