Cricket is by far the most popular sport in India, and it is played almost everywhere. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is the governing body of Indian cricket, and it organizes all domestic tournaments and selects players for the India national cricket team and the India women's national cricket team. Domestic competitions in India include the Ranji Trophy, the Duleep Trophy, the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the Deodhar Trophy, and the Irani Trophy. The Indian Premier League, a Twenty20 event in which multiple city franchises participate in a style akin to club football, is one of the world's largest sporting leagues as well as the world's largest cricketing league. First-class competitions 1. Ranji Trophy  It was founded as the 'Cricket Championship of India' at a meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India in July 1934. The first Ranji Trophy fixtures took place in the 1934–35 season. Syed Mohammed Hadi of Hyderabad was the tournament's first-century scorer. Syed Mohammed Hadi of Hyderabad was the tournament's first-century scorer. H. H. Sir Bhupendra Singh Mahinder Baha-dur, Maharajah of Patiala, donated the Trophy in remembrance of his late Highness Sir Ranjitsinhji Vibhaji of Nawanagar, lovingly known as Ranjitsinhji. The Ranji Trophy is mostly made up of teams representing the Indian states. The number of competing teams has grown over time. 2. Duleep Trophy  The Duleep Trophy competition, named after Duleepsinhji, was established by the Board of Control for Cricket in India in 1961-62 to provide the goal of providing a greater competitive edge in domestic cricket, because the Ranji Trophy, apart from the knock-out stages, proved to be highly predictable, with Bombay winning the Ranji Trophy for fifteen consecutive years. The Duleep Trophy was also intended to assist selectors in analyzing the form of top players competing against each other. The original version featured five teams that were picked from the five zones (North, South, East, West, and Central) and competed in a knock-out format. The competition was modified to a league system beginning with the 1993-1994 season. 3. Irani Trophy The Irani Trophy tournament was created during the 1959-60 season to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Ranji Trophy championship. It was named after the late Z. R. Irani, who was a member of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) from its inception in 1928 until he died in 1970 and a passionate supporter of the game. Limited Overs competition 1. Deodhar Trophy It is a one-day cricket competition in Indian domestic cricket that was started in 1973-74 by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. It was formerly contested by five zonal teams: North zone, South zone, East zone, West zone, and Central zone. It was contested by the Vijay Hazare Trophy winners, India A and India B, from 2015-16 to 2017-18. Since 2018-19, it has featured India A, India B, and India C. 2. Vijay Hazare Trophy  The Trophy, named after the prolific Indian cricketer Vijay Hazare, was established in 2002-03 as an attempt to bring the limited-overs game to a wider audience. The competition pits state (and other) Ranji Trophy teams against each other in a 50-over format.Twenty 20 competitions 1. Indian Premier League  This League was established by BCCI in 2007-08 and has gained significant recognition around the country. The players were chosen through auctions and drafted into city-based franchises. The IPL is one of the most-attended cricket leagues in the world. Based on regional loyalties, the eight-team tournament brings a unique and popular team and player auction system hand-picking some of the best international players in the world and teaming them with Indian players, both domestic and international, in one arena. The IPL tournament consists of 10 different city-based franchises.2. Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy This is the first zonal T20 championship of its kind and the third overall in the Indian cricket season, with Ranji teams, separated into two groups along zonal lines, with the competition culminating in an All India T20 final between the winners of the two groups for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. It was created in response to the success of the IPL and the BCCI's need to find additional talent in the developing regions of cricket. In addition to these tournaments, the BCCI supervises various youth contests such as the Cooch Behar Trophy and the Vinoo Mankad Trophy, as well as women's domestic games and numerous domestic cricket leagues. |
