NEW DELHI: The
Ranji Trophy 2025 is set to kick off on Thursday, presenting a golden opportunity for some of India’s top cricketers to find their form after a taxing international season.
With Team India reeling from a 3-1 loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the domestic red-ball circuit has gained heightened significance as players look to rediscover their rhythm.
One of the tournament's most anticipated clashes is Mumbai's face-off against Jammu & Kashmir at the MCA’s Sharad Pawar Academy Ground, BKC.
