COMPETITION HISTORY Bengal's first success came in the third Ranji Trophy season ( 1936 / 37 ), in which it came runners-up to Nawanagar, two years later it beat Southern Punjab in the final of the Ranji Trophy to become the 4th team to hold the title. For the next 51 years it did not manage to hold the Trophy again, until it beat a strong Delhi in the 1990 final. In this time, the Bengal cricket team had come runner-up a total of 7 times, it's most recent being in 1989 , where it lost to Delhi. The years of the finals losses were quite evenly scattered and the Bengal cricket team never truly was considered a cricketing power of the likes of Delhi and Punjab. In it's single Irani Trophy appearance, it drew with the Rest of India side but was considered the loser after conceding a first innings deficit. In any case, a loss was imminent after the Rest of India scored a remarkable 7-737 and got Bengal out for 262. See Scorecard FAMOUS PLAYERS CURRENT SQUAD
