1 min readFeb 28, 2026 02:18 PM IST Jammu and Kashmir have made history. Fast bowler Auqib Nabi’s stellar show with the ball, coupled with centuries from Shubham Pundir in the first innings and Qamran Iqbal in the second has helped them pip a star-studded Karnataka to 2025/26 Ranji Trophy title. It marks the first time that they have won India’s premier first class domestic title and marks a remarkable turnaround for a team that was rarely ever taken seriously as opponents by most teams for much of their 66-year history in the Ranji Trophy. Jammu and Kashmir played their first game was in 1960. However, their first victory in the competition came only in their 99th match in 1982. Incidentally, it also happened to be the year that Karnataka won their third title. This 2025/26 final was their 346th match in Ranji history, and only their 47th match win. It brigs to an end a remarkable season in which they lost just one match, which came in Srinagar against Mumbai. To be updated… Disclaimer: …

Ranji Trophy 2025-26 final: Paras Dogra’s gritty 70 and ‘head-butt’ flashpoint power J&K to 527/6 against Karnataka | Cricket News

Published by Webster

On Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy final at Hubballi, it took bouncers, bruises and even a moment of raw temper to unsettle Paras Dogra – but not enough to move Jammu & Kashmir off course. Across two days of stubborn batting and theatre in patches, the 41-year-old captain’s gritty half-century helped J&K stretch Karnataka’s patience and pile up a formidable 527 for 6 before bad light brought early stumps. Technique may not be his strongest suit, but in the pursuit of prising Dogra out with a short ball on Wednesday, Karnataka’s streaks of brilliance weren’t enough to topple J&K’s mountain project. While his numerous lives ended before tea, Dogra’s painstaking 70 off 166 balls meant J&K’s batters lasted for two whole days Dogra stands tall A whump off the collarbone, a rip-snorting bumper copped on the finger and the helmet, had all forced J&K head coach Ajay Sharma to retire Dogra on Tuesday. The stage of a big final – his first in 25 years of pro cricket – had already exposed a few …

3 min readUpdated: Feb 25, 2026 05:17 PM IST Things turned heated in the second day of Ranji Trophy final on Wednesday when Jammu and Kashmir captain Paras Dogra headbutted a Karnataka player. After slamming a boundary off Prasidh Krishna in the 101st over, Dogra appeared to have some sort of verbal exchange with Karnataka’s KV Aneesh, who was a sub fielder. Things escalated when Dogra squared up to him and headbutted Aneesh’s helmet with his own which led to Mayank Agarwal stepping in to calm matters. After that, Karnataka skipper Devdutt Padikkal was also seen talking to the umpires about the incident. But after that matters cooled down with J&K posting a massive 527/6 at stumps at the end of Day 2. Sahil Lotra (57) and Abid Mushtaq (20) were in the middle after Dogra departed for 70 while Day 1 centurion Shubham Pundir scored 121. Abdul Samad also departed after 61 while wicketkeeper Kanhaiya Wadhawan added 70. Resuming on 284/2, J&K batters capitalised on a good surface with Kanhaiya Wadhawan and skipper Paras …

2 min readUpdated: Feb 16, 2026 01:15 PM IST Jammu and Kashmir captain Paras Dogra on Monday recorded history as he became only the second man to reach 10,000 Ranji Trophy runs during his side’s semi-final clash against Bengal in Kalyani. Walking in at number four for his side after India pacer Mohammed Shami snipped two quick wickets, Dogra reached the monumental feat with his 11th run of the innings. The 41-year-old batter is only the second man in 92 years since the inception of the premier domestic red-ball tournament to reach 10,000 runs, achieving so in his 147th appearance. Only former India opener and Mumbai legend Wasim Jaffer has achieved the feat before Dogra, remaining as the highest run-scorer in Ranji Trophy history with 12038 runs. Dogra began his career with Himachal Pradesh in 2001 and appeared for the side in 95 Ranji matches, racking up over 6418 runs with 19 hundreds and 24 fifties before moving to Puducherry in 2018. He became Puducherry’s first Ranji Trophy centurion and piled up 11 hundreds across …

With 33rd Ranji Trophy century, Paras Dogra holds fort at Kotla and gives J&K lead | Cricket News

A stream of local dignitaries were in attendance for Day 2 of what would be an ordinarily non-descript group stage Ranji Trophy fixture between Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir at the Feroz Shah Kotla grounds here on Sunday. Newly-elected president of the BCCI Mithun Manhas turned up to his former hunting ground, where he scored hordes of First-Class runs as a middle-order batter for Delhi, for a felicitation ceremony. His long-time teammate Rajat Bhatia was on commentary for the game. National selector and former India pacer RP Singh, too, showed face. And in front of fellow domestic cricket stalwarts, who happen to be former teammates and friends, J&K’s 40-year-old skipper Paras Dogra stole the show with a measured century that was pivotal to putting his side in control of the game. Dogra’s 139-run stand with Abdul Samad spurred the visitors to a total of 310, handing them a crucial 99-run lead against a beleaguered-looking side whose poor bowling effort was in line with the aptitude of a team that has failed to win a single …

Ranji Trophy: Paras Dogra leads J&K from the front with ton as quarterfinal against Kerala on knife’s edge | Cricket News

Maybe, the Jammu & Kashmir Ranji team needed a captain who wasn’t an intimidating, authority figure. Paras Dogra had 10,000 domestic runs for his ancestral state Himachal Pradesh and as a guest player for Pondicherry. With J&K, he just shared a smattering of Dogri and Kangri dialects. But the Delhi-born 40-year-old, with a chill temperament and no particular intention of stamping his 10,000-run clout, candidly admitted to being super-fascinated by the high quality of bowlers and hitters J&K had. He was mentoring them alright when they bowled, but hadn’t been among the runs this season. He’s not prone to talking down to the juniors anyway, but his batting struggles strangely made him one of the boys. A hard-trying team with an earnestly-trying skipper, just got things to click. On Tuesday, with J&K having conceded a 1-run first innings lead (281 and 280) to Kerala , Dogra hit a sturdy century – striking 132 from 232 balls, while shepherding partnerships of 146 (261 balls) with Kanhaiya Wadhawan and 50 (65) with Sahil Lotra. J&K set Kerala …

40-Year-Old Star Takes Stunning Catch To Dismiss Ajinkya Rahane In Ranji Trophy Game – Watch

Published by Webster

Jammu and Kashmir captain Paras Dogra pulled off a sensational catch to dismiss Ajinkya Rahane during Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy encounter against Mumbai on Friday. The 40-year-old cricketer was at full stretch when he completed a brilliant one-handed catch that left both fans and experts impressed. During the 27th over of the Mumbai 2nd innings, Rahane was batting on 16 and he played a full delivery by Umar Nazir Mir. The ball was travelling at a brisk pace between cover and mid-off. However, Dogra pulled off the perfect dive to reach the ball and complete the catch with just one hand. Meanwhile, a fifty on Ranji comeback was not meant to be for India captain Rohit Sharma who fell for 28. Playing his first game for Mumbai in domestic red-ball cricket in nearly a decade, Rohit’s first day on the field was a disaster with the 37-year-old falling for a 19-ball 3 in the opening hour of the Ranji Trophy clash against Jammu Kashmir.

Jammu And Kashmir Captain’s Swipe At Umpires After Mumbai’s Fightback: “Going On For Years”

Jammu And Kashmir Captain’s Swipe At Umpires After Mumbai’s Fightback: “Going On For Years”

Published by Webster

Jammu and Kashmir skipper Paras Dogra seemed frustrated with the standard of umpiring in their Ranji Trophy game against defending champions Mumbai, and hoped that the match officials were a “bit more attentive”. The 40-year-old Dogra, a veteran of 140 first-class games who is playing his last season in domestic cricket, lamented that it “has been going on for years now”. On the second day, ICC elite panel discard Sundaram Ravi couldn’t hear a loud nick off Shreyas Iyer’s edge when it was heard by one and all and later shown on replays. Then he adjudged Mumbai skipper Ajinkya Rahane caught behind and the batter had crossed the boundary ropes when he was called back again. Ravi ruled Umar Nazir’s delivery as a no-ball but this time there was no replay to corroborate his call. “What to say. This has been going on for years and there’s nothing much that we can do about it. Umpires are human after all and can make mistakes. But had they been a bit more attentive, it …
