Bengal break a 75-year-old record

119 Unbroken runs put on by the tenth-wicket partnership between Shreevats Goswami and Sayan Ghosh - the highest for Bengal in first-class cricket. They beat the 115 added by Basil Malcolm and Tara Bhattacharjee against Madras in 1938-39. Goswami stayed unbeaten on 225, which was also the highest by a No. 6 batsman for Bengal, going past Saba Karim's 199 against Bihar in 1995-96.

1 Priyank Panchal became the first Gujarat batsman to 1000 runs in a Ranji Trophy season. He got to the mark with his fourth century of 2016-17, against Tamil Nadu. He has 1137 runs in seven matches; 715 of them have come from his last four innings. In seven matches this season, only once has Panchal failed to cross fifty. The previous-highest season aggregate by Gujarat player was 895 by Parthiv Patel in 2012-13.

945 Runs for Services' Rahul Singh in his debut season. Only Jiwanjot Singh has made a better first impression in the history of Ranji Trophy cricket with a tally of 995 in 2012-13. Rahul finished with nine 50-plus scores - the most by any player this year - and also took the record for most runs by a Services batsman in a Ranji season, eclipsing Yashpal Singh's 790 in 2012-13.

2011 The last time Mumbai were asked to follow on in the Ranji Trophy, by Saurashtra in Rajkot. Punjab emulated them last week, having earned a lead of 283. This did not hamper Mumbai's chances of defending their title, though, as they had already qualified for the knockouts.

978 Runs for Prashant Chopra this season - the most by a Himachal Pradesh batsman, bettering the 813 Paras Dogra made in 2014-15. Chopra made 194 last week and 237 before that to finish as the second-highest run-getter in the 2016-17 league phase, behind Panchal.

10 Years Odisha had to wait to qualify for the Ranji Trophy knockouts. They were runners-up in the Plate League in 2006-07 and with Delhi and Maharashtra's defeats in the ninth round last week, made it to the final four again. And they still have a match in hand.

250 Unbeaten runs for Sachin Baby last week - the best by a Kerala batsman at No. 5. He was involved in a 187-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Jalaj Saxena and an unbroken 257-run stand for the sixth wicket with Akshay Chandan. Both were records for Kerala.

3 Players to score a century and take a five-wicket haul in this Ranji season - Jammu Kashmir's Samiullah Beigh, Hyderabad's Chama Milind and Uttar Pradesh's Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep is UPs highest run-getter (466) and highest wicket-taker (35). Parvez Rasool (629 runs and 38 wickets) is the only other player with 450-plus runs and 30-plus wickets this season.
