The Irani Cup 2026 fixture pitted the Rest of India, led by skipper Rishabh Pant, against Jammu and Kashmir at the Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium in Srinagar between October 1 and 4, 2026. Ultimately, Rest of India emerged victorious by 167 runs.
Several batters made their mark across both innings of the contest.
Here is a look at the top 3 run-getters of the Irani Cup 2026:
3. Paras Dogra (Jammu and Kashmir)
Paras Dogra finished as J&K’s highest scorer in the opening innings, contributing 75 runs from 143 deliveries, including six fours and one six, at a strike rate of 52.44. He was eventually dismissed caught by Mukesh Kumar off the bowling of Mukesh Choudhary. Dogra’s partnership of 101 runs with Abdul Samad for the fifth wicket served as a pivotal chapter in J&K’s first-innings total.
His composed knock anchored J&K’s batting effort and helped the team secure a vital first-innings lead. However, the second innings proved disastrous for Dogra and the wider J&K lineup. On Day 4 of the competition, Dogra was dismissed for a duck as his side could not withstand more than a single session, succumbing fully to the Rest of India’s attack.
