The Marathon Man: Paras Dogra Joins the 10,000-Run Club in Ranji Trophy

In the 92-year history of the Ranji Trophy, only one name stood atop the mountain of 10,000 runs: the legendary Wasim Jaffer. On Monday, February 16, 2026, that lonely peak finally got its second resident.

Jammu & Kashmir captain Paras Dogra etched his name into the history books during the Ranji Trophy semi-final against Bengal at Kalyani, becoming only the second player ever to cross the monumental 10,000-run mark in India’s premier domestic tournament.

The Moment of Glory

Walking into the crease with his team struggling at 13/2 against a fierce Bengal attack featuring Mohammed Shami and Mukesh Kumar, the 41-year-old veteran showed the composure that has defined his 24-year career. He reached the milestone with his 11th run of the innings, prompting a wave of appreciation from the cricketing fraternity. He eventually departed for a gritty 58, once again proving his worth as the backbone of the J&K middle order.
