History

1936 to 2004

The team competed in the Ranji Trophy from 1936–37 until 2003–04. When the state of Bihar was divided into two states, Bihar and Jharkhand, most of the former state's cricket infrastructure was in Jharkhand, so Jharkhand commenced playing in the Ranji Trophy. The state of Bihar was no longer represented. [1] [2] Before this partition Bihar played 236 first-class matches, winning 78, losing 56 and drawing 102. [3]

Bihar's best performance in Ranji Trophy was in 1975-76 Ranji Trophy season, when Daljit Singh led Bihar to Ranji Trophy finals.

2018 onwards

In April 2018, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) reinstated Bihar, ahead of the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy tournament. [4] [5] On 19 September 2018, they won their opening fixture of the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, beating Nagaland by 8 wickets. [6] [7]

On 8 October 2018, Bihar defeated Mizoram by 9 wickets to enter the Quarter-finals of 2018-19 Vijay Hazare Trophy. [8] [9] Bihar won the Plate Group and progressed to the knock-out phase of the tournament. [9] However, they were beaten by nine wickets by Mumbai in their quarter-final match to be knocked out of the tournament. [10] [11]

In November 2018, in their opening match of the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy, they lost to Uttarakhand by ten wickets. [12] [13] They finished the 2018–19 tournament second in the table, with six wins from their eight matches. [14]

In March 2019, Bihar finished sixth in Group B of the 2018–19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, with one win from their six matches. [15] Keshav Kumar was the leading run-scorer for the team in the tournament, with 145 runs, and Ashutosh Aman was the leading wicket-taker, with seven dismissals. [16]

On 29 January 2023, Bihar defeated Manipur by 220 runs to win the Plate Group Final of 2022-23 Ranji Trophy. [17]
