In the Ranji Trophy final of the 1946-47 season, Vijay Hazare and Gul Mohammad came together for Baroda against Holkar and put on 577 runs for the fourth wicket, a stand that stood as the highest partnership in first-class cricket anywhere for many years and is still the benchmark figure…

The 2009 season coincided with the general election in India, and because the police could not guarantee security for both the polls and the matches, the whole tournament was shifted to South Africa at short notice.

The Purple Cap is worn through the season by the bowler who has taken the most wickets so far, passing from one player to another as the matches go on, and the bowler who leads at the end keeps it.

In the very first match of the league, on 18 April 2008 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, the New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman opened for Kolkata Knight Riders against Royal Challengers Bangalore and made 158 not out, which remained one of the highest scores in the competition for years.

Rajasthan Royals, captained by the Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne and widely regarded as the weakest squad on paper that season, won the first title in 2008 by beating Chennai Super Kings in the final.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced the league in 2007 and the first season was played from April to June 2008, with Lalit Modi as the first chairman and commissioner and eight city franchises taking part.

The Cooch Behar Trophy is the multi-day inter-state championship for players under the age of nineteen and is named after the Maharaja of Cooch Behar, an early patron of the game in India.

Begun in 2006-07, soon after Twenty20 became an international format, it is the championship in which the state teams play the twenty-over game, and it is named after Syed Mushtaq Ali of Indore, who was the first Indian to score a Test century abroad.

The Irani Cup is a single first-class match in which the team that has just won the Ranji Trophy meets a Rest of India eleven drawn from all the other state teams, and a good performance in it has long been treated as a step towards national selection.

Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji, the Jam Saheb of Nawanagar, played for Sussex and for England at the end of the nineteenth century and was among the first cricketers of Indian birth to be ranked with the greatest batsmen of his time.

A coaxial cable is built around a single solid or stranded copper wire at the axis, which carries the signal.

Infrared lies just below visible light in frequency, and like visible light it is stopped by an ordinary wall.

Transmission media fall into two families. A guided or bounded medium confines the signal to a solid conductor or light pipe, and the three guided media are twisted pair, coaxial cable and optical fibre.

A computer works with digital signals, a series of ones and zeros, while an ordinary telephone line was built to carry an analog voice signal.

The RJ-45 is the eight-position modular plug crimped on to the end of an unshielded twisted pair cable of category 5e or 6 and pushed into the network port of a computer, switch or router.

A walkie-talkie allows both parties to speak and both to listen, so communication is two-way, but the set has a single push-to-talk switch and one person must release it before the other can be heard.

Electromagnetic interference acts on moving charge, so any medium that carries a signal as an electric current can pick up noise from motors, fluorescent lamps, lightning and nearby cables.

The fibre has a core of higher refractive index surrounded by a cladding of lower refractive index. Light that enters the core and meets the boundary at an angle greater than the critical angle is reflected entirely back into the core, with none of it refracted away into the cladding.

In frequency division multiplexing each channel is given its own slice of the frequency band, and a small unused strip called a guard band is left between two neighbouring channels so that one does not spill into the next.
