Jaffer won eight titles with Mumbai from 1996-97 to 2012-13 and two with Vidarbha. Jaffer, who scored four centuries in 11 matches, ended the Ranji season with 1,037 runs at an average of 69.13.

In this process, he became the first player to score 1,000-plus runs twice in a Ranji Trophy season. He had scored 1,260 runs in the 2008-09 season while playing for Mumbai.
