Here is how India's prominent players performed in Round 2 of the Ranji Trophy 2026-27.

Rinku Singh continued his impressive domestic run with an unbeaten 118 for Uttar Pradesh against Goa.
His innings helped UP recover from a top-order collapse and post 202 in their first innings. Uttar Pradesh eventually won by 68 runs to register their second consecutive victory of the season.
Mohammed Shami
After a brilliant contribution in the opening game against Delhi, Mohammed Shami missed Bengal's second-round match against Services after being left out of India's squads for the New Zealand tour.
He had taken four wickets in Bengal's opening-round match against Delhi. Shami later explained that the spin-friendly pitch offered limited value for a fast bowler and that younger players could benefit from the opportunity.
