Ranji Trophy 2022 quarter final schedule and fixtures: The top 8 teams have made it through to the Ranji Trophy 2021-22 Quarter-Final.

The ongoing Ranji Trophy season, which is bifurcated in two phases, has witnessed the culmination of its pre-IPL schedule, with eight teams out of 38, making it through to the Quarter-Final stage.

With seven teams namely Mumbai, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bengal, Uttarakhand, Punjab having booked their respective berths, Jharkhand demolished the Plate Group toppers Nagaland during the Pre Quarter-Final match at the Eden Gardens, courtesy of a massive first innings lead of 591 runs.

On the back of centuries from Kumar Kushagra (266), Virat Singh (107), and Shahbaz Nadeem (177), Jharkhand not only posted 880/10 during the first innings, but also piled up another 417/6 during their second innings after deciding not to enforce the follow-on (after Nagaland posted 289/10) to puncture the spirits of the North-Eastern side altogether. Ultimately, Jharkhand’s lead swelled up to as many as 1,008 runs, as they filled the eighth quarter-final spot in the tournament.

Did Jharkhand try to score their entire season’s runs in just one innings? 😮#Ranji
