Feb 28 (Reuters) - Jammu and Kashmir claimed their maiden Ranji Trophy on Saturday after a draw with eight-times champions Karnataka in the final of India's premier domestic first-class competition, securing the win on the basis of their first-innings lead. It was the first title in 67 years for Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian state that shares a border with neighbouring Pakistan. It is the biggest thing in my life," Jammu and Kashmir captain Paras Dogra said. "I have been lucky to be with JKCA (Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association). "From the beginning, they were 100% sure we would win this Ranji Trophy."
