India, Feb. 25 -- The Ranji Trophy final between Jammu & Kashmir and Karnataka took an ugly turn when J&K captain Paras Dogra lost his cool and headbutted the opposition fielder early on Day 2 at the Hubli Cricket Ground on Wednesday. The incident occurred in the 101st over of J&K's innings, when Dogra and Kanhaiya Wadhawan were in the middle of a promising partnership, keeping J&K's progress steady. After Dogra edged a delivery from Prasidh Krishna for four, a few words were exchanged between the J&K captain and substitute fielder KV Aneesh at forward short leg. Dogra straightaway charged at Aneesh, headbutted him with his helmet, before Mayank Agarwal intervened. It is believed that Aneesh's constant sledging triggered Dogra.
