The 2026–27 Ranji Trophy kicked off with a flurry of early drama as defending champions Jammu & Kashmir struck quickly against Madhya Pradesh, reducing them to 41 for 3 in just 17 overs. Rohit Sharma (not the India opener) and Abdul Samad combined for a crucial wicket, with Samad’s diving catch sealing Himanshu Mantri’s dismissal.

Meanwhile, Karnataka’s KL Rahul was dismissed for a low score, while Mumbai’s early innings saw them at 39 for 1 against Chandigarh. Rajasthan, led by Sumit Godara, piled on runs with a boundary off Saravana Kumar, reaching 41 for 1 against Tamil Nadu, who are now relying on captain Sai Kishore to stem the flow after the drinks break.

In another key matchup, Tripura’s patient batting under scorching conditions has frustrated Hyderabad, with the team reaching 50 for 1 in 12.4 overs. Elsewhere, Kerala’s Jalaj Saxena claimed a breakthrough by dismissing Sharandeep Singh, while Punjab’s pacers were restricted by poor light, forcing them to continue with spin bowlers against Assam’s 59 for 3.
