Altercation Clouds Dogra’s Fifty as J&K Dominate Ranji

Skipper Paras Dogra made a gutsy 70, but his intentional headbutting of Karnataka substitute KV Aneesh overshadowed an otherwise solid batting performance from Jammu and Kashmir, who reached 527 for 6 at stumps on the second day of the Ranji Trophy final.

Dogra, along with keeper batter Kanhaiya Wadhawan (70) and Sahil Lotra (57 batting), all made handsome contributions as it became a real toil for the Karnataka bowlers save Prasidh Krishna (3/90 in 29 overs), who didn't make much of an impact.

However, it was 21-season Ranji veteran Dogra’s boorish behaviour that surprised one and all as he was captured on camera headbutting the silly point fielder Aneesh after getting a streaky boundary when Prasidh had literally squared him up.

It wasn't clear if any of Aneesh's words would have hurt the domestic legend, who confronted Aneesh and butted Aneesh's helmet, prompting his senior teammate Mayank Agarwal to interject and stand between the two.
