Defending the Crease, Defending the Nation
Services represents India's armed forces — the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Players are serving military personnel who combine their duties with competitive cricket. Runners-up twice (1956-57, 1957-58) but still chasing that maiden Ranji title.
The 2025-26 campaign showcased devastating bowling — Arjun Sharma claimed three five-wicket hauls in the first three rounds (5/42 vs Tripura, 5/46+4/20 vs Assam, 6/41 vs Uttarakhand), while Amit Shukla's 8/27 demolished Haryana. Three wins but four losses left Services 5th in Group C with 19 points.
