Paras Dogra fined: The final match of Ranji Trophy is being played between Karnataka and Jammu and Kashmir. If we look at the statistics and records, it will appear that Jammu and Kashmir is no match for Karnataka. But the way the Jammu and Kashmir team, playing the Ranji Trophy final for the first time, is showing its mettle against 8-time Ranji champion Karnataka is commendable. However, what happened to the Jammu and Kashmir captain batting first in the Ranji final? Has there been news of his match fee being deducted after playing an innings of 70 runs in the match? The question is why?
The match fee deducted from Jammu and Kashmir captain Paras Dogra after scoring 70 runs in the final against Karnataka has nothing to do with that inning. Rather, the reason for the reduction in match fees is related to his incident of hitting a Karnataka player with his head.
However, after the end of the second day's play in the Ranji final, Paras Dogra told the media that the incident had happened in the heat of the moment. Now everything is fine, but his actions have broken the rules of cricket. Due to that, his match fee has been reduced by 50 percent.
Jammu and Kashmir captain Paras Dogra had hit Karnataka player KV Avneesh with his head. This entire matter is related to the 101st over of the innings of Jammu and Kashmir. A ball from this over of Prasidh Krishna took the edge of Dogra's bat and went for 4 runs. While everyone's attention was on the ball, Paras Dogra angrily approached Karnataka's substitute fielder KV Avneesh standing at the silly point. There was a slight altercation between the two and the tall Dogra directly hit his head on Avneesh's head. During this time both the players were wearing helmets.

The matter was resolved with the help of the umpire. It is being said that the reason behind Paras Dogra's anger was the continuous sledging by KV Avneesh.
