The 2016–17 Ranji Trophy is the 83rd season of the Ranji Trophy, the first-class cricket tournament in India. It is being contested by 28 teams divided into three groups. Groups A and B comprise nine teams and Group C comprises ten teams.[1] The round 1 fixture between Rajasthan and Saurashtra was moved from Chennai to Vizianagaram because of the senior women's one-day league.[2] The round 2 fixture between Jharkhand and Karnataka was moved from Tamil Nadu to Greater Noida because of the Kaveri River water dispute.[2]
Karnataka, Jharkhand and Odisha all qualified for the knockout stage of the tournament, with Odisha qualifying for the knockout stage for the first time since the 2000–01 tournament.[3] Jharkhand finished top of the table after winning their final match by an innings and 93 runs.[4]
