The Ranji Trophy is a domestic first-class cricket championship played in India between different city and state sides. The competition is named after Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji, also known as ‘Ranji’. It was launched as ‘The Cricket Championship of India’ following a meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India in July 1934, with the first fixtures taking place in 1934-35. Bhupinder Singh, the Maharajah of Patiala, donated the first trophy. The first Ranji Trophy was won by Bombay.
