Ranji Trophy 2026-27 Round 1 Results: Mumbai, Hyderabad win big; Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Jammu and Kashmir manage draws

The opening week of the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season saw dominant victories for Mumbai and Hyderabad, both securing innings-margin wins. Mumbai cruised past Chandigarh behind Tushar Deshpande's seven-wicket haul and half-centuries from Siddhesh Lad, Tanush Kotian, and Mohit Avasthi, while Hyderabad relied on the spin duo of Tanay Thyagarajan and Gangam Ankithreddy to dismantle Tripura.

Bengal also started strong by overcoming Delhi, fueled by centuries from Abhishek Porel and Sandip Kumar Gharami alongside a four-wicket contribution from Mohammed Shami.

Elsewhere, several high-profile matches ended in stalemates. Karnataka and Tamil Nadu both salvaged draws against Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan respectively, while defending champions Jammu and Kashmir were saved by poor weather against Madhya Pradesh after Auqib Nabi's squad faced a collapse.

Additional draws were recorded in the fixtures between Jharkhand and Kerala, as well as Punjab and Assam.
