Ranji Trophy: J&K lords it over Karnataka, wins historic title
The Hindu
Jammu & Kashmir secures its first Ranji Trophy title, defeating Karnataka with an unbeaten partnership on the final day.
On a baking, early-summer afternoon at the KSCA Rajnagar Stadium here on Saturday, Jammu & Kashmir steamrolled Karnataka to win its maiden Ranji Trophy title.
As J & K went into day five a massive 477 runs in the green and with six second-innings wickets still intact, the result was seldom in question. Yet, the visitors refused to move, even by an inch, the foot they had had on Karnataka’s neck since the start of the contest.
Paras Dogra & Co. batted for 56 overs, added 156 runs and did not lose a wicket. Karnataka’s downfall was slow and painful, with little heed to its reputation as an eight-time champion. Death by thousand cuts it truly was.
