In the opening round of fixtures, in the match between Mumbai and Railways in Delhi, players wore masks because of the poor air quality.[3][4] In the third round match between Vidarbha and Baroda, Vidarbha's Wasim Jaffer became the first batsman to score 11,000 runs in the Ranji Trophy.[5] The ninth round match between Vidarbha and Saurashtra was Jaffer's 146th Ranji match. He broke Devendra Bundela's record of playing in the most matches in the Ranji Trophy.[6] In the fourth round match between Gujarat and Mumbai, Gujarat beat Mumbai by nine wickets, to become the first side to have four outright victories against them.[7]

Ahead of the fifth round of fixtures, Saurashtra's captain Jaydev Shah announced that he would retire from all cricket following the team's match against Karnataka.[8] He set the record for the most matches as captain in the Ranji Trophy.[6]

Vidarbha became the first team to qualify from Group A, after Baroda beat Karnataka by two wickets in their final group-stage match.[9] Despite the loss, Karnataka also qualified from Group A.[10] Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra across Group A and B were relegated to Group C,[11][12] On the final day of the group stage, Saurashtra and Gujarat also qualified from Group A for the quarter-finals.[13]
