The '''Madhya Pradesh cricket team''' formerly known as '''Holkar cricket team''', is a domestic cricket team based in the [[India]]n state of [[Madhya Pradesh]]. It competes in the [[Ranji Trophy]].

== History ==
=== Holkar cricket team ===

A '''Central India''' team competed in the [[Ranji Trophy]] between 1934–35 and 1939–40, playing 12 matches.<ref>{{cite web|title=First-class matches played by Central India|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Teams/0/587/First-Class_Matches.html|website=Cricket Archive|access-date=1 September 2015|archive-date=9 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309190301/http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Teams/0/587/First-Class_Matches.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 1941, '''Holkar''' entered the competition, organised and managed by King [[Yashwantrao Holkar II]] belonging to the [[Holkar]] dynasty of the [[Marathas]]. In the fourteen years of its existence Holkar, which included such players as [[C. K. Nayudu]] and [[Mushtaq Ali]], won the title four times and finished second on six other occasions.
Another Ranji Trophy team later to be absorbed by Madhya Pradesh was '''Gwalior''' (one match in 1943-44).<ref>{{cite web|title=First-class matches played by Gwalior|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Teams/0/756/First-Class_Matches.html|website=Cricket Archive|access-date=1 September 2015}}</ref>

=== Madhya Pradesh team ===

Madhya Pradesh began competing as a team from 1950-51. Holkar appeared in the Ranji Trophy till 1954-55 after which it was dissolved and replaced by a [[Madhya Bharat]] team. This became part of the Madhya Pradesh team after two years as the states were [[States Reorganisation Act|reorganised]].

Madhya Pradesh's first title was the 1998-99 [[Wills Trophy]], where they defeated Bengal in the final.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1998-99/IND_LOCAL/WILLS/BENG_MP_WTOD-FINAL_17JAN1999.html | title=Final: Bengal v Madhya Pradesh at Calcutta, 17 Jan 1999 }}</ref> Madhya Pradesh team reached the final of the Ranji Trophy for the first time in the same season. They took the first innings lead against [[Karnataka cricket team|Karnataka]] and needed only a draw to win the title but collapsed in the final session of the last day to lose with five overs to spare.<ref>[http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/67/67555.html Scorecard of the 1998-99 final]</ref>

Finally in the [[2021–22 Ranji Trophy|2021–22 season]], Madhya Pradesh defeated the 41-time Champions [[Mumbai cricket team|Mumbai]] in the final in [[M. Chinnaswamy Stadium|Bengaluru]] to win the [[Ranji Trophy]] for the fifth time and first time as Madhya Pradesh. <ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/ranji-trophy-2021-22-2022-1280196/madhya-pradesh-vs-mumbai-final-1313309/match-report | title=Dubey, Shubham, Patidar, bowlers fashion Madhya Pradesh's maiden Ranji Trophy title}}</ref>
