As the World Cup moves into the business end, with all eyes on the big stage… the most heart-warming story of last week came from elsewhere.
Jammu & Kashmir lifting the Ranji Trophy for the very first time. Let that sink in. What a journey. What a story. Paras Dogra, Ajay Sharma and this fearless bunch have taken the long road, knocking over heavyweights, game after game, with grit and self-belief. No shortcuts. Just hard cricket and big hearts.
That’s the beauty of the #RanjiTrophy. It throws up fairy tales. And this one will be remembered for a long, long time. Massive congratulations to the boys from J&K. You’ve made the entire cricketing fraternity proud. #Cricket
J&K has shown the world what effort and intent can do ..They have made that region so proud of them .. tuff environment makes tuff people. Aqib nabi on his way to national colours .. england is the place to start in the summer @bcci@imAagarkar@lonsaikia
Excellent batting effort from J&K in the Ranji final. Shubham Pundir leading with a fine hundred, supported well by Yawer Hassan, Captain Paras Dogra and others. Game nicely set up from here 👏

Behind every such prodigy is an irrational parent. A misfit. One who’d take asymmetric bets. In an academics obsessed country, a parent traveling 30 kms everyday to take their 6 yr old to an academy is whimsical. �
