Jammu & Kashmir had an impressive season. They played exceptional cricket against strong teams despite losing their opening match against a powerful team like Mumbai, but they bounced back strongly and now, they are the champions of Ranji Trophy 2025-26.
Jammu & Kashmir defeated Madhya Pradesh in the quarterfinal and then beat Bengal in the semi-final, which was an important game, but they played exceptionally well against a strong competitor.

Who is the Most Successful Ranji Trophy Team?
If we go back in history, Mumbai is at the top spot as they have won the tournament 42 times, which is a record in itself. Mumbai dominated the Indian Domestic Cricket for decades, especially between the 1950s and 1970s. But now, underrated teams are also doing quite well, and they are also showcasing their talent at a high level.
Teams like Jammu & Kashmir are now winning the tournament, which shows the level of talent inside the country. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is currently doing a fantastic job in Indian domestic cricket; they are actively giving more opportunities and facilities to the underrated teams, and this helps the players a lot.
