The final of the Ranji Trophy is being played out and the title will be determined on March 2, 2025. The 90th Ranji Trophy is nearing its conclusion and the game between Kerala and Vidarbha has been nothing less than an enthralling contest at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha, Nagpur. The elite tournament of Ranji Trophy was inaugurated for the first time during the 1934-35 season and is considered India's top first-class tournament. Originally, it had been titled Cricket Championship of India and later called Ranji Trophy in the succeeding year.

Vidarbha's Rise to Domestic Cricket
Vidarbha's journey to Ranji Trophy glory began in 2017-18 when they reached their first final. Faiz Fazal led them to their first title by defeating Delhi. They retained their title the following year by defeating Saurashtra, joining an elite group of teams that have won consecutive titles.
Nair, during his game against Kerala, was observed showing great calmness while batting, scoring his hundred off 184 balls. His whack, marked with seven fours and two sixes, contributed to Vidarbha reaching 249/4 at stumps, taking their overall lead to 286 runs after Kerala's first innings of 342.

<![CDATA[Karun Nair's Ranji Trophy Heroics: 86 & 135 – A Strong Case for India Test Recall!]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-stats/karun-nair-s-ranji-trophy-heroics-86-135-a-strong-case-for-india-test-recall/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-stats/karun-nair-s-ranji-trophy-heroics-86-135-a-strong-case-for-india-test-recall/ Sun, 02 Mar 2025 07:57:00 GMT

Karun Nair, the gifted Indian batsman, is back in the news again for his unbelievable consistency in domestic cricket. Having become only the second Indian to score a Test triple century, Nair's international career took an unexpected turn, but his recent performances indicate that he is now set for a national comeback. With multiple centuries and match-winning knocks, Nair is proving that he still has a lot to offer Indian cricket.

A Match-Winning Performance

Karun Nair stepped up when the chips were down. 

He hit 86 in the first innings and then an excellent 135 in the second.

His timely knocks enabled Vidarbha to gain the upper hand over Kerala in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 final.

Karun Nair's Recent Domestic Cricket Performance

Nair's last 17 innings in domestic cricket have been nothing but breathtaking:                                                                                            122(108), 44(52), 163*(107), 111*(103), 112(101), 122*(82), 88*(44), 27(31), 39(80), 4(7), 3(13), 105(193), 122(243), 45(70), 6(17), 86(188), 135(295)**

  • 860 runs in Ranji Trophy 2024-25 with a dazzling average of 57.33.
  • 779 runs in Vijay Hazare Trophy with an astounding average of 389.50 with five centuries.

Such a consistency across formats makes him a prime candidate for an India comeback.

The 'Nine' Celebration – A Message to Selectors?

After crossing his century, Nair gestured a 'nine' with his hands. Several people felt this was a message to BCCI selectors, as he has been overlooked for international selection since 2017. However, Nair soon explained that it was a premeditated gesture for the Vidarbha support staff, as he was celebrating his ninth century of the season.

Should Karun Nair be recalled to an India Test?

Even after scoring a record triple century (303*) in 2016, Nair has been ignored for the Indian team since 2017. But with India's middle-order struggling in the current England series, his present form makes him a prime choice for selection.

Karun Nair's run-scoring exploits in the Ranji Trophy final and in the domestic season have once again raised questions regarding his inclusion in the Indian Test team. Given his experience, reliability, and desire for runs, he could very well prove to be India's solution for the middle order.

Kerala bowled out Gujarat for 455, creating a match-defining margin of two runs to take a huge stride towards reaching the Ranji Trophy final.
Before this, Gujarat's teen batting star Jaymeet Patel held firm against intense pressure in his debut First-Class season to bring his team nearer to Kerala's first-innings score with a rearguard action on Day 4 in the Ranji Trophy semifinal at Narendra Modi Stadium.

This year, Jaymeet, Gujarat's top run-getter, entered with the hosts struggling under a middle-order collapse led by Kerala's experienced off-spinner Jalaj Saxena. Rather than crumbling under pressure, however, he played the game out, stitching together vital partnerships with Vishal Jayswal and Siddharth Desai. His cautious approach helped Gujarat continue to chip away at the deficit, leaving it poised for a nerve-wracking finish where each run would be precious.
Gujarat's prospects of first innings lead were rocked in the morning session earlier in the day when Manan Hingrajia was given out by a debatable third-umpire decision, five overs into the morning session. The replays indicated the ball hitting his bat and pad nearly in unison, but the referral went against him to Kerala's benefit, having him return to the pavilion for 33.

India's star pacer Shardul Thakur is representing Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy. The top player has not been provided with a spot in the Indian team for the Champions Trophy. Shardul is, however, set to represent the Essex team in the County Championship soon. Shardul's return can be useful for him to regain a spot in the Indian team.

Shardul Thakur Representation to India :
Shardul Thakur was the last of them when he represented India in Tests and ODIs in 2023. But he didn't perform well.
He wasn't included in the Indian squad for being out of form. But Shardul also played for India in ICC tournaments during 2023. Shardul was part of the Indian team in World Test Championship 2023 and ODI World Cup 2023. It is tough now to think of his return to the Indian team. He is playing for Mumbai in domestic cricket now. Shardul is also playing in the current semi-final match being conducted against Vidarbha on behalf of Mumbai.

Performance in Ranji Trophy :
Shardul has played his best ever in the Ranji Trophy match for Mumbai.
Speaking about the last 3 matches, he has stunned everyone with bat and ball. He has picked 19 wickets in the last 3 matches, besides this, while batting in the last 3 matches, he has made 2 half-centuries besides 1 century. But by featuring in the County Championship, he will be in a position to market himself for a return to the Indian Test team since the Indian team will travel to England to play a 5-match Test series following IPL 2025. In the event that Shardul performs exceptional cricket in the County Championship overseas, then he could get noticed by the Indian selectors.

Atharva Taide and Dhruv Shorey have been the stalwarts of their batting order, and spinner Aditya Sarwate is a worry for the opposition on Nagpur's spin-friendly pitch.

Mumbai, though, has a counter in the left-arm spin of Shams Mulani and Rahane's experience, whose leadership will prove instrumental in coping with the pressure.

Sheldon Jackson Announces His Retirement from Professional Cricket

Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Sheldon Jackson has announced his retirement from professional cricket. He did so after Saurashtra recently exited the Ranji Trophy. His decision has thus sealed what has been a tremendous 15-year run in domestic cricket, with Sheldon Jackson emerging as one of the most consistent performers on the Indian circuit.


A Stalwart in First-Class Cricket
Jackson played 106 First-Class matches, with an aggregate score of 7,283 runs at an average of 45.80. He scored 21 centuries and 39 half-centuries; thus, anchoring innings and match-winning knocks are testament to his outstanding cricketing skill.
His performances helped Saurashtra become one of the most formidable teams in the domestic circuit.
Important Contributions towards Saurashtra
One of Jackson's most memorable games was the Vijay Hazare Trophy final held in 2022, which he played after scoring an unbeaten 133-run knock as Saurashtra won the championship.
He always proved to be a great leadership figure and with his experience for the team had been very handy in winning years after years of matches, earning him respect inside the dressing room.

IPL and Limited Overs Career
He also played in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in which he represented Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Though opportunity in top format came to him rarely, he proved himself every time. In January 2025, he announced his retirement from limited-overs formats for playing First-Class cricket only. And now, with the end of Saurashtra's Ranji Trophy campaign, he has decided not to play further in all formats of the game.
