Full list of highest-ever partnership for any wicket in Ranji Trophy

The Ranji Trophy witnessed an extraordinary feat as Snehal Kauthankar and Kashyap Bakle etched their names into the record books with a monumental 606-run partnership. The duo's triple centuries propelled Goa to a crushing victory over Arunachal Pradesh, sealing an innings-and-551-run win in their Plate Group match on Thursday.

 

Historic Triple Hundreds and a Mammoth Total

 

Kauthankar’s blistering 314 off 215 balls and Bakle’s commanding 300 off 269 deliveries powered Goa to a staggering 727 for 2 declared in just 92 overs. This mammoth total handed Goa a first-innings lead of 643 runs, leaving Arunachal Pradesh with no chance of recovery. The visitors were bundled out for 92 in their second innings, having managed just 84 in the first. 

 

Breaking Ranji Trophy Records

 

Kauthankar and Bakle’s partnership of 606 runs is now the highest in Ranji Trophy history, surpassing the 594-run stand by Maharashtra’s SM Gugale and AR Bawne against Delhi in 2016. The duo’s incredible effort also marked only the second instance of two batters scoring triple centuries in the same Ranji innings, after Tamil Nadu's WV Raman and Arjun Kripal Singh achieved the feat against Goa in 1989.

Their partnership ranks just below the iconic 624-run stand between Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene in a Test against South Africa in 2006. Additionally, Goa’s total of 727 is the second-highest in the Plate Division, behind Meghalaya’s 826 for 7 against Sikkim in 2018, and the ninth-highest in Ranji Trophy history overall.

 

Kauthankar’s Blazing Knock

 

Kauthankar’s innings was a masterclass in aggressive batting. With 43 boundaries and four sixes, he reached his triple century in just 205 deliveries. This effort places him third on the all-time list of fastest First-Class triple centuries, behind Hyderabad’s Tanmay Agarwal and South Africa’s Marco Marais. Remarkably, he also recorded the fourth-fastest double-century in Ranji Trophy history, reaching the milestone in just 146 balls.

 

Bakle’s Composed Brilliance

 

Bakle’s knock was equally formidable, featuring 39 fours and two sixes. His calm and calculated approach perfectly complemented Kauthankar’s aggressive stroke play, creating a partnership for the ages.
