Key Insights

Overall, the Ranji Trophy has recorded 25 partnerships of 400 or more runs in an innings.

Kashyap Bakhale and Snehal Kauthankar have recorded the highest partnership in the Ranji Trophy. The Goan pair aggregated an unbroken 606-run stand for the third wicket against Arunachal Pradesh in November 2024.

This marked the first instance of a 600-run stand in the Ranji Trophy and any domestic first-class tournament.

The stand is now the second-highest in all first-class cricket, trailing only the 624-run partnership between Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene against South Africa in the 2006 Colombo Test.

With Bakhale (300*) and Kauthankar (314*) bringing up individual triple hundreds, this became the second instance in first-class history of two batters scoring triple centuries in a single innings. It is the first time this has happened in the Ranji Trophy.

Kauthankar reached the 300-run mark in 205 deliveries, which is the second-fastest triple hundred by a batter in the Ranji Trophy.

Thanks to the herculean effort by Bakhale and Kauthankar, Goa posted their highest Ranji Trophy total of 727 for 2 declared.

Goa also recorded the largest innings victory by a team in the tournament, defeating Arunachal Pradesh by an innings and 551 runs.

Ravi Sehgal and Raman Lamba have stitched the highest first-wicket stand in the Ranji Trophy. The Delhi pair put up 464 runs against Himachal Pradesh in the 1994/95 season.

The 577-run stand between Vijay Hazare and Gul Mohammad for Baroda is the highest in a Ranji Trophy final. It helped Baroda take a 582-run lead and eventually beat Holkar by an innings and 409 runs.

The 460-run partnership by Bhupinder Singh and Pankaj Dharmani for Punjab against Delhi in 1995 is the highest for the seventh wicket in all first-class cricket.

India’s premier all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja, is the only batter to feature in two 400-plus run partnerships in the tournament. The first of those stands came with Cheteshwar Pujara (520*) versus Orissa in 2008, while the other was with Sagar Jogiyani (539) versus Gujarat in 2012 for Saurashtra.
