The 1957–58 Ranji Trophy was the 24th season of the Ranji Trophy. Baroda won the title defeating Services in the final. Vidarbha made their debut in the competition.[3]

Highlights

  • The Zonal matches were played in a round-robin format, for the first time in Ranji Trophy history.
  • Bombay conceded its last match in the West Zone match against Baroda when it became certain that Baroda would qualify from the West Zone.[4] It would be twenty years, 124 matches and 18 Ranji titles before Bombay lost another match outright, against Gujarat in 1977–78.[5]
  • Prakash Bhandari hit 227 and took 4/34 and 5/47 for Delhi against Patiala[6]
