'They've done it': CM, LG, political parties hail J-K's maiden Ranji win

JAMMU/SRINAGAR: (Feb 28) Political parties in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday congratulated the Union territory's Ranji team for its maiden title triumph in Karnataka’s Hubballi, saying the players have scripted a historic victory in golden letters and brought pride and honour to the region.

The Paras Dogra-led team scripted an extraordinary tale of resilience in Indian domestic cricket to claim their maiden Ranji Trophy title on the basis of a first-innings lead, after the final against eight-time champions Karnataka ended in a draw.

Celebrations erupted across the Union territory, with firecrackers, beats of dholaks and drums reverberating through streets and sweets being distributed in the twin capital cities and other areas from where team members hail.
