Kerala Set For Maiden Ranji Trophy Final Appearance Against Vidarbha

Kerala has a chance to make history after they have all but qualified for the Ranji Trophy final. They picked up a two-run lead over Gujarat before the match was drawn, and as per the rules, Kerala would advance due to the lead advantage.

The visiting side was resilient against Gujarat, who headed in the final day of action at 429/7 and needed just 29 runs to take a lead in their first innings. But Aditya Sarwate's composure crumbled Gujarat, who were bowled out at 455 and left them two runs short of the mark. Kerala eventually won the play on 1st Innings after the match ended in a draw. They will now lock horns against Vidarbha, a side that has been relentless throughout the season, on February 26th, 2025. The venue is yet to be confirmed.
