2. Duleep Trophy: The Indian board established the Duleep Trophy, named after KS Duleepsinhji, in 1961-62 as a zonal first-class competition rather than a state-level competition. Originally, five teams from each zone (North, South, East, West, and Central) competed in a knockout system.
3. Vijay Hazare Trophy: The Ranji Trophy, or Ranji One Day Trophy, began in 2002-03 as a domestic cricket competition for state teams from Ranji Trophy plates. It is named after Vijay Hazare, a popular Indian cricketer.
4. Deodhar Trophy: The Deodhar Trophy was established in 1973-74 by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. This is the current one-day cricket competition in Indian domestic cricket. The competition involves five zonal teams: North, South, East, West, and Central.
5. Irani Trophy: The Irani Trophy was established in 1959-60 in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Ranji Trophy competition. It was named after the late Z.R. Irani.
