Why it matters
The Ranji Trophy is the premier domestic cricket competition in India, serving as the primary pipeline for national team selection.
: Hyderabad opened its Ranji Trophy 2026-27 campaign in emphatic fashion, completing an innings and 40 runs win against Tripura at Gymkhana on Tuesday. The match, however, was shaped much earlier, on day one, courtesy Wasim Jaffer’s inputs from the dugout.
With Tripura carefully navigating the turn on the red soil pitch, the home side was advised to rejig the fielding, following which Rahul Radesh was moved to short-fine leg. The breakthrough came immediately, Rahul taking a good catch off Tanay Thyagarajann to send Hrituraj Ghosh Roy packing.
The innings soon fell apart. Tanay struck twice more in quick succession, following which Tripura lost seven wickets with only five runs added. Its captain Manisankar Murasingh likened the collapse to watching a house of cards fall.
