JAMMU AND KASHMIR: Jammu and Kashmir cricket captain Paras Dogra has achieved a significant milestone in Indian domestic cricket, becoming only the second player after Wasim Jaffer to feature in 150 Ranji Trophy matches.
Dogra reached the landmark during Jammu and Kashmir’s encounter against Baroda in Vadodara, adding another remarkable chapter to his long and distinguished career in domestic cricket.
The achievement highlights the veteran batter’s consistency, commitment and enduring contribution to India’s premier first-class cricket tournament. Reaching 150 Ranji Trophy appearances places Dogra among a select group of cricketers who have demonstrated exceptional longevity and dedication to the domestic game.
Paras Dogra’s Leadership and Contribution to J&K Cricket
Dogra has played a crucial role in Jammu and Kashmir cricket, earning recognition for his batting experience and leadership qualities. His contribution became particularly significant last season when he captained the team to its maiden Ranji Trophy title, marking a historic moment for cricket in the Union Territory.
The triumph represented a major breakthrough for Jammu and Kashmir cricket and brought national attention to the team’s progress in the domestic circuit. Under Dogra’s leadership, the side achieved a landmark success that will remain an important part of its sporting history.
His latest milestone further strengthens his standing as an experienced figure in Indian domestic cricket, with his career reflecting years of participation at the highest level of the Ranji Trophy competition.
JKCA Congratulates the Veteran Captain
The Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) congratulated Paras Dogra on reaching the 150-match milestone, recognising his remarkable achievement and contribution to the sport.
The accomplishment is also a moment of pride for Jammu and Kashmir cricket, particularly following the team’s historic Ranji Trophy title-winning campaign last season.
Dogra’s achievement serves as an inspiration for aspiring cricketers across the region, demonstrating the importance of perseverance, discipline and sustained performance in a demanding domestic cricket environment.
As Jammu and Kashmir continue their Ranji Trophy campaign, the captain’s experience remains an important asset for the team. His latest record is not only a personal milestone but also a reminder of the progress made by the region in India’s competitive domestic cricket structure.
With 150 Ranji Trophy appearances to his name, Paras Dogra has secured a distinctive place in the tournament’s history, joining Wasim Jaffer in an exclusive club of players to reach the landmark.
