In a landmark moment for Indian domestic cricket, Jammu and Kashmir captain Paras Dogra became only the second player in history to surpass 10,000 runs in the Ranji Trophy. The 41-year-old veteran reached the milestone on Monday, February 16, 2026, during the high-stakes semifinal against Bengal at the Bengal Cricket Academy Ground in Kalyani.
Dogra achieved the feat with his 11th run of the innings, walking in at No. 4 after India international Mohammed Shami had struck early for Bengal. By reaching this figure in his 147th match, Dogra cements his status as a titan of the domestic circuit, joining an elite club previously occupied solely by Mumbai and Vidarbha legend Wasim Jaffer.
