Vidarbha captured its third Ranji Trophy by defeating Kerala on the back of a first-innings lead in the Nagpur final. Vidarbha batted first and made 379, with Danish Malewar making 153 and Karun Nair making 86. Kerala made 342, with Sachin Baby making 98, but Vidarbha bowlers Harsh Dubey and Parth Rekhade ensured that they were unable to cross the lead. Nair responded in Vidarbha's second innings by hitting a hundred, consolidating their grip on the match. It is Vidarbha's third championship in seven years and earns them an unbreachable reputation as one of Indian domestic cricket's all-time strongest forces.
