- A.Vidarbha
- B.Kerala
- C.Karnataka
- D.Saurashtra
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Vidarbha. Vidarbha won the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy, beating Kerala in the final at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur.
The final in March 2025 ended in a draw, and Vidarbha took the title on their first-innings lead. It was Vidarbha's third Ranji Trophy, after their back-to-back wins in 2017-18 and 2018-19, and Akshay Wadkar captained the side. The Ranji Trophy is India's premier first-class domestic cricket championship, run by the BCCI since 1934-35 and named after K. S. Ranjitsinhji, the cricketer and ruler of Nawanagar. Mumbai has won it the most times by far.
B is wrong: Kerala were the losing finalists, reaching the Ranji Trophy final for the first time. C is wrong: Karnataka are former champions but did not win the 2024-25 edition. D is wrong: Saurashtra won in 2019-20 and 2022-23, not in 2024-25.
Exam tip: Ranji Trophy 2024-25: Vidarbha (third title) beat Kerala (first final) at Nagpur; Mumbai holds the record for most titles.
