Dhawal Kulkarni played in the 2015-16 Ranji Trophy with Mumbai Cricket Team and won with them. In 2023-24, Kulkarni was on the brink of announcing his retirement. However, the team convinced him to postpone his retirement till after the Ranji Trophy ended. They wanted his guidance for the tournament, and he did so perfectly. He helped the youngsters where he could and put in some fantastic performances himself, too. The 2023-24 Ranji Trophy final was the last game of Dhawal Kulkarni’s career. It is wonderful to see that such a fantastic player will retire after lifting the Ranji Trophy for one last time in his career.

Jay Bista made his first-class cricket debut during the 2015-16 Ranji Trophy. He won the coveted title in his debut season with the Mumbai Cricket Team. Jay Bista had to wait eight years to win the Ranji Trophy again. He helped Mumbai Cricket Team by opening in the absence of Prithvi Shaw. The Indian player performed very well until Prithvi Shaw was declared fit to play, and he replaced Jay Bista in the starting XI. While Bista did get replaced, his contributions in helping his team win the 2023-24 Ranji Trophy cannot be discounted. He is another one of the cricketers who has won the Ranji Trophy title in both the 2015-16 and 2023-24 seasons.
