A
triple-hundred is a rarity in any form of cricket and Ranji Trophy is no
exception. There are only 27 triples in 77 years of the tournament. Ravindra
Jadeja of Saurashtra is the latest.
The
first was Vijay Hazare, who had made 316 not out representing Maharashtra
against Baroda in Pune in 1939-40
Jadeja
made 314 against Orissa in Cuttack in one of the opening games of Ranji Trophy
season 2011-12.
