2017–18 Indian cricket season

The 2017–18 Indian cricket season was the 125th cricket season since the commencement of first-class cricket in India. The season started early in September 2017 and ended in March 2018. A first-class match between India Red and India Green in Duleep Trophy marked the beginning of the season. The season included tours from Australia, New Zealand A, New Zealand and Sri Lanka.

Ranji Trophy matches, unlike in the previous season, were played on a home and away basis. The number of matches were reduced from 8 to 6 for each team in league stage, as 28 teams were divided into 4 groups of 7 teams each. Initial plans to scrap the Duleep trophy were reversed by the BCCI and the tournament is now played using pink ball.
