The '''Baroda cricket team''' is a domestic cricket team based in the city of [[Vadodara]], [[Gujarat]]. The home ground of the team is the [[Moti Bagh Stadium]] on the [[Lakshmi Vilas Palace|palace]] grounds.

The team is run by the [[Baroda Cricket Association]]. It has been one of the most successful teams in the [[Ranji Trophy]] in the new millennium.

Baroda were runners-up in the [[2005/06 Ranji Trophy]]. It is one of three Gujarat Teams, the others being the [[Saurashtra cricket team]] and [[Gujarat cricket team]].

==Competition history==

Baroda has only emerged as a strong team in recent years. It won its last Ranji Trophy in 2000–01, but failed to defend the title, coming runner-up in the next year. This means it has had only one [[Irani Trophy]] appearance, in which it failed to defeat a strong Rest of India team which contained the likes of [[VVS Laxman]] (13 & 148), [[Dinesh Mongia]] (125 & 90*), [[Debashish Mohanty]], [[Sarandeep Singh]] and [[Akash Chopra]]. [http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/2001-02/IND_LOCAL/IRANI/BARODA_R-O-I_IRANI_13-17OCT2001.html See Scorecard]. It was considered a strong team in the 1940s and 1950s, winning 4 times and coming runner-up twice.
[[Vijay Hazare]] , [[Irfan Pathan]] , [[Yusuf Pathan]] , [[Hardik Pandya]] are amongst the most prominent cricketers to emerge from Baroda. They have performed exceedingly well at the international level for India.
