Global media reports on how India’s remittance is tied to the now-troubled region & the war’s cascading effect on economy. J&K's maiden Ranji Trophy win also drew its attention.
In 2020, the explosive batsman lost his wicket when J&K was 14 runs short of taking a crucial first-inning lead against Karnataka in Ranji quarterfinal. That episode kept haunting him.
J&K squad’s road to Ranji glory wasn’t an easy one. Not that long ago the J&K Cricket Association was reeling under unpaid bills. ‘There was no structure or system’.
'My father always believed I could win the trophy. And, now when I have, he isn’t here to see this,’ J&K skipper tells ThePrint. His father died on 28 February 2009.
J&K stand on cusp of history. In their maiden Ranji final, they are set to lift the title. When this triumph is revisited in years to come, one name will dominate the telling: Ajay Sharma.
J&K finished their 1st innings at a strong 584. They now look to take a decisive first innings lead with the hosts finishing the day at 220/5. KL Rahul fails to impress.
From Suffolk & Yorkshire to Karnataka, the quartet skip ICC T20 World Cup to watch Karnataka vs J&K, hailing India’s domestic game as last bastion of “real” 5-day cricket.
China patiently invested capital, skill and technology in coal gasification. Unlike it, we won’t move from words to action. As crude prices decline, we lose interest.
