The Ranji Trophy is India’s oldest first-class competition and some of the finest national side players have come through this tournament over the years and decades. And while hundreds of batsmen have scored centuries and double centuries, we want to highlight some of the best bowling performances in this tournament; in particular, we’ll talk about Ranji Trophy hat-tricks here.
