Jammu & Kashmir captain Paras Dogra expressed his elation after leading his team to their first-ever Ranji Trophy victory. Dogra, at a loss for words, described the win as the most significant moment in his career, attributing the success to the team’s unity and belief.
Under Dogra’s captaincy, Jammu & Kashmir outperformed Karnataka in the final, clinching the title with a strong first-innings lead. Dogra emphasized the collective effort of the team over individual brilliance, commending the entire squad and the support system that contributed to their triumph.
Reflecting on the team’s journey, Dogra credited the association and his teammates for their unwavering support. He highlighted the impact of a previous season’s narrow defeat, which motivated the team to focus on every run in the league matches to avoid repeating past mistakes.
Dogra also discussed the strategic decision-making process, particularly the crucial toss in the final that set the tone for their dominance. Despite the significant milestone, Dogra remained grounded, focusing on savoring the moment rather than making long-term plans.
