High-pressure game, emotions run high 🤷‍♀️. Glad they sorted it out quickly and the focus is back on cricket. J&K making the final is the real story here! What a journey for the team. 🇮🇳

These things happen in competitive sport. Remember Kohli's aggressive celebrations? It's passion. As long as there's no real malice and they're joking about it later, it's fine. The Ranji final intensity is something else!

Headbutt in cricket? That's more football style! 😂 But seriously, hope the umpires took note. Can't let such physical conduct become normal, even if it's "just a second". Rules are rules.

Paras Dogra's batting has been phenomenal this season. One moment of frustration shouldn't overshadow his leadership and that milestone performance. J&K cricket is on the rise!

Watching from Australia. The passion in Ranji Trophy is incredible! In Shield cricket, it's intense but usually less... physical. Interesting cultural difference in how competition is expressed.
