Update to our report Rohit Sharma's 5 for 36: J&K's Seamer Bowls Madhya Pradesh Out for 196.
The story so far
J&K, the defending Ranji champions, opened their 2026-27 season against Madhya Pradesh at the Sher-i-Kashmir Cricket Stadium in Srinagar. MP were bowled out for 196 on day one.
What's new
The match ended in a draw on Wednesday, October 14, after rain and bad light stopped play early on day four. MP, who took the first-innings lead, gain the points advantage. MP resumed their second innings on 151/5; captain Shubham Sharma finished unbeaten on 106 off 200 balls and MP declared at 249/6, setting J&K a target of 326. J&K were 88/7 at the close.
The report gives no first-innings scores, no points table and no next fixture, so we have not stated them. It also calls MP's lead a "first-innings victory" while recording a drawn match; under Ranji rules a draw decided on first-innings lead carries points for the leading side, but check the BCCI points table for the exact tally.
