The 2018–19 Ranji Trophy was the 85th season of the Ranji Trophy, the first-class cricket tournament that took place in India. It was contested by 37 teams, divided into four groups, with nine teams in Group B.[1] The group stage ran from 1 November 2018 to 10 January 2019.[1] The top five teams across Group A and Group B progressed to the quarter-finals of the competition.[2]
Ahead of Delhi's first match, in round two of the tournament, Gautam Gambhir stepped down as captain of the side.[3] Nitish Rana was appointed as the new captain of the team.[4] In December 2018, Gambhir announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.[5] Gambhir went on to score 112 in his final innings, his 43rd century in first-class cricket.[6]
In round five of the tournament, Ajay Rohera set a new record for the highest score on debut in a first-class match.[7] Batting for Madhya Pradesh against Hyderabad, he scored 267 not out, breaking the record of 260 runs set by Amol Mazumdar in 1994.[8] Naman Ojha became the most successful wicket-keeper in the Ranji Trophy. He broke Vinayak Samant's record of 355 dismissals as a wicket-keeper.[9][10]
On the final day of the group stage, Kerala qualified from Group B for the quarter-finals.[11]
