Paras Dogra penalised for headbutting incident in Ranji final

The captain of Jammu & Kashmir, Paras Dogra, is expected to receive a fine equal to fifty percent of his match fees for engaging in a physical altercation with KV Aneesh, the substitute fielder for Karnataka, on Tuesday during the second day of play in the Ranji Trophy final in Hubballi. Dogra cautiously poked at a short delivery from Prasidh Krishna in the 101st over of the innings, which ran away for a boundary through backward point. Dogra confronted Aneesh with a headbutt after he spoke a few words to the opposing captain at silly point. Mayank Agarwal came to the defense of his teammate, and the two senior players got into a heated argument. Soon after, the umpires joined in to talk to both captains and calm things down. Dogra apologized to Aneesh at the end of the over. Dogra stated, "It's not a big deal, it happened in the heat of the moment," in reference to the incident at the conclusion of the play that day on Tuesday. A bit of these exchanges keep going on, especially when you're playing the final. There, we immediately defused the situation. He then resumed his conversation. Kanhaiya Wadhwan, who was on the side of the non-striker at the time, also played down the incident and refused to discuss the specifics. "It occurs, it is a part of the game. Sledging happens - it was happening from both sides. a little bit from us and a little bit from them. Nothing was planned. It was quickly resolved.
