Ranji Trophy Final: J&K Opt To Bat First Against Karnataka
KSCA Hubli Cricket Ground: Jammu and Kashmir have won the toss and opted to bat first against eight-time champions Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy final here at the KSCA Hubli Cricket Ground on Tuesday. Jammu & Kashmir have qualified for their maiden Ranji Trophy. Notably, the last team to win their maiden Ranji Trophy title was MP in the 2021-22 season While Paras Dogra-captained J&K have a maiden title up for grabs, Devdutt Padikkal-led Karnataka are chasing their first crown in well over a decade. J&Ks only defeat in this season came in a 35-run loss to Mumbai in October, and they have not looked back since then. Karnataka endured a campaign filled with twists and turns. They were in a strong position before the tournament paused for the white-ball leg, but the restart brought a significant setback in the form of a heavy defeat to Madhya Pradesh. That result left them with little room for error, and with weather interruptions and resistance from Punjab adding to the tension, their path to qualification grew increasingly narrow. Stepping up when it mattered most, newly appointed captain Padikkal produced an unbeaten 120, steering his side into the quarterfinals as daylight ebbed away. From there, momentum gathered pace: a strong victory over Mumbai was followed by a dominant display against Uttarakhand, securing their place as hosts for the final.

Ranji Trophy: Formidable Karnataka Chase Ninth Title Against First-time Finalists J&K
While Paras Dogra: Jammu and Kashmir will attempt to write the most unlikely chapter in Indian domestic cricket history when they take on a formidable eight-time champions Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy final starting on Tuesday. While Paras Dogra-captained J&K have a maiden title up for grabs, Devdutt Padikkal-led Karnataka are chasing their first crown in well over a decade. J&Ks only defeat in this season came in a 35-run loss to Mumbai in October, and they have not looked back since then. Having defeated Delhi in Delhi, Madhya Pradesh in Indore and Bengal in Kalyani to reach this title clash, J&K have all the tools in their arsenal to have a strong crack at winning the title and change the trajectory of cricket in their state. Karnataka, meanwhile, enter as resounding favourites after amassing 736 and 323 runs in the two innings of their semi-final against Uttarakhand, with KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal and R. Smaran all scoring heavily. Karun Nair and Padikkal, who is expected to recover from a hand injury in time for the final, have also been in commanding form. It would also help that Karnataka has won in both of their previous meetings against J&K. An interesting sub-plot in the final will be the clash of Karnatakas batters against J&K ace pacer Auqib Nabi. Nabi, 29, has been the driving force behind J&Ks success by taking 55 wickets in nine matches at an average of 12.72 this season, the second-highest tally in the competition. Apart from his handy lower-order batting, Nabi needs just five more to finish as the leading wicket-taker. Left-arm quick Sunil Kumar and spinner Abid Mushtaq have provided strong support, but Nabi remains the bowler Karnataka will most want to see the back of. Hubbali has hosted only one match this season - Karnataka winning over Chandigarh by an innings and 185 runs, where Smaran made a majestic 227. Yet J&K have made a habit of defying expectation and their wait for a title could end, provided they upstage Karnataka, a task easier said than done.

On this day, Lord Shiva devotees should visit the temple and offer milk, Datura (Thorn Apple) fruit, and flowers. One should also observe fasts, especially married couples, to get a special blessing for their marital life. The Story of Neelkanth According to the legend, the Devas (gods) and Asuras (demons) once churned the cosmic ocean to obtain Amrit (the nectar of immortality). During this massive churning, many divine and dangerous things emerged from the ocean. But before the nectar appeared, a deadly poison called Halahala surfaced. The poison was so toxic that it began to spread through the universe, threatening to destroy all creation. Neither the gods nor the demons could control it. In desperation, they turned to Lord Shiva for help. Maha Shivartri 2026: Visit These Revered Bholenath Temple In Mumbai On The Occasion Of 'Lord Shiva Great Night' Why did Lord Shiva turn blue? To save the universe, Shiva drank the poison. However, instead of swallowing it completely, he held it in his throat to prevent it from spreading inside his body. The poison was extremely powerful and turned his throat deep blue. Goddess Parvati prevented it from spreading through his body, causing his throat to turn blue. The story highlights Shiva's role as protector of the universe and symbol of selfless sacrifice. That is why he is known as NeelKanth , meaning the Blue-Throated One.
