3 Indian cricketers who could benefit from 2026-27 domestic season
The Ranji Trophy returns on October 11, 2026, and these three players have strong reasons to make an impression.
1. Sarfaraz Khan
Sarfaraz Khan is a batter from Mumbai who was part of the Chennai Super Kings squad for IPL 2026. In five matches during the tournament, he scored 147 runs at a strike rate of 171, having been acquired at his base price of ₹75 lakh. He is regarded as one of the most prolific batters in Indian domestic cricket and has shown a strong ability to handle spin. He averages 63.69 in first class cricket and has been one of the regular run scorers in India's domestic game.
Sarfaraz, who has played six Test matches, has seen his position in the India Test setup has become less certain of late, though he was recently named in the senior squad as a replacement for an injured Sai Sudharsan. A big Ranji Trophy season with Mumbai could help him reclaim a regular spot in the Test side.
