New Delhi, Feb 25 The first-ever finalists Kerala will take on two-time champions Vidarbha in the summit clash of the Ranji Trophy, which will be played at the VCA Stadium here in Jamtha from Wednesday.
Kerala, who entered the semi-final clash only for the second time, will look to seal their maiden title, whereas Vidarbha are aiming to go one step further from their 2024 heartache and win the trophy this time around.
Kerala sealed their maiden Ranji Trophy final by taking a slim two-run first-innings lead over Gujarat, ending a 68-year wait to reach the title clash in India's premier domestic competition.
Vidarbha, which will make its fourth appearance in the Ranji final after winning the title in 2017-18 and 2018-19, qualified for the summit clash after a commanding 80-run win over defending champions Mumbai.
