Mumbai won their 30th title defeating Delhi in the final considered one of the best in the history of Ranji Trophy. During the tournament, Ravi Shastri batting for Mumbai against Baroda, scored a double-century in 113 minutes, a record that would stand for more than thirty years.{{cite web|url=http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1980S/1984-85/IND_LOCAL/RANJI/WEST/BOM_BARODA_RJI-W_08-10JAN1985.html |title=Ranji Trophy West Zone League, 1984-85:Bombay v Baroda |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=15 January 2019}}[https://stats.acscricket.com/Records/First_Class/Overall/Batting/Fastest_Double_Hundreds_by_Minutes.html Acscricket.com, Fastest double centuries in first class cricket]
