Ah, the Ranji Trophy—it is a system of elite and plate groups, where the best state teams compete for promotion and the rest, well, struggle for relevance in the plate. They say it is a fair path to the top, but I found the divide creates its own shadows, where a talented player from a plate team can be forgotten. I know because I played for Bengal's plate side years ago, scoring a century that felt like 'khub bhalo,' yet the selectors' eyes never lifted from the elite group roster.
