Mehbooba Mufti, president of the Peoples Democratic Party, said the “stupendous success of Jammu & Kashmir in the Ranji Trophy has given the people a rare moment of joy after a long time.”

It has been a long wait, and today that wait has transformed into a moment of immense pride for us all,” Lone said.
