Jammu and Kashmir Win Ranji Trophy After Draw Against Karnataka
Jammu and Kashmir won the Ranji Trophy for the first time after drawing the final against Karnataka and clinching the title through a first-innings lead. The side, led by Paras Dogra, lifted the championship in its maiden final appearance, becoming the ninth team in the tournament’s history to achieve the feat.
The triumph comes after a 67-year wait for J&K in India’s premier red-ball competition. Facing eight-time champions Karnataka on their home ground was a major challenge, but J&K controlled the game from start to finish.
They were disciplined with both bat and ball and stuck to a clear plan throughout the contest. Players were seen exchanging hugs as the state’s chief minister applauded from the stands. The title was also a special moment for Paras Dogra, who finally became a Ranji champion after 25 seasons.
