Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium: Vidarbha have lifted the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 title by virtue of taking the first-innings lead against Kerala in the final at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Jamtha on Sunday.

It was Vidarbha's third title and the first since 2018-19 when they won on the trot. Vidarbha were 375/9 in their second innings, having a gigantic 412-run lead on the final day before both teams shook hands to culminate the summit clash.

Vidarbha's 37-run first-inning lead proved decisive for them to bag their third title after Danish Malewar played a knock of 153 runs while in-form Karun Nair slammed 86 runs in the first innings to stage a fightback after reeling at 24/3.
