Jammu and Kashmir achieved their maiden Ranji Trophy title by outplaying traditional powerhouse Karnataka, securing the championship with a significant first-innings lead after a draw in the final. The historic victory, culminating 67 years of participation in the tournament, was highlighted by strong performances from opener Qamran Iqbal who scored an unbeaten 160, and Sahil Lotra with 101 not out in the second innings, extending their first-innings advantage of 291 runs to a commanding 633. Pacer Auqib Nabi was instrumental throughout the season and in the final, while skipper Paras Dogra became the second batter to surpass 10,000 Ranji Trophy runs, underscoring a remarkable team effort that defied expectations against a Karnataka side brimming with Indian stars.
Apart from fourth- and sixth-wicket partnerships, Kerala batters surrender meekly.
