As of 31 July 2025, which is the second most successful team in Ranji Trophy?
Karnataka
The Ranji Trophy is India's premier domestic first-class cricket tournament, contested by state and institutional teams since 1934-35.
Mumbai (formerly Bombay) is by far the most successful side, having won the title a record 42 times.
The second most successful team is Karnataka, which has lifted the trophy 8 times, making it the correct answer.
Karnataka's titles came in seasons such as 1973-74, 1982-83, 1995-96, 1997-98, 1998-99, 2013-14 and 2014-15, reflecting a long tradition of strong domestic cricket.
Railways and Services are institutional teams; Railways has won the trophy only twice and Services has never won it, so they are not the second most successful.
Maharashtra has won the Ranji Trophy just twice (1939-40 and 1940-41), far fewer than Karnataka.
Hence, after Mumbai, Karnataka stands as the second most decorated team in Ranji Trophy history.
Karnataka is the second most successful team in the Ranji Trophy.
