2010–11 Ranji Trophy
The 2010–11 Ranji Trophy season was the 77th Ranji trophy season. It was contested through two leagues: Super and Plate. Each division was divided into 2 groups – A and B, each team played all the other teams from its group only once, either home or away. The Super League is divided into two groups of eight and seven teams, while the Plate League is divided into two groups of six teams each. In both divisions, the top two teams from each group advance to the knock-out phase. The finalists from the Plate League are promoted to the Super League the next year while the two teams at the bottom of the Super League are relegated. According to the new Ranji format which was implemented from 2008 to 2009 season, the top two Plate teams join three teams each from the two groups in the Super League to play a knock-out from the quarter-final stage. The new format, thus, gives a relegated side realistic chance of winning the title. Points summaryPoints in the league stages of both divisions are awarded as follows:
