Ranji Trophy: J&K secure first win, beat Assam by 235 runs

Tarjinder Singh's fighting hundred was the lone bright spot in Assam's doomed chase as the visiting team succumbed to a massive 235-run loss to Jammu and Kashmir on the fourth and final day of their Ranji Trophy Group C match on Tuesday.Reduced to 46 for 3 overnight while chasing a mammoth 477, Assam's chances of sneaking away even with a draw were slim but Tarjinder fought all through before becoming the last wicket to fall after making 105 runs. The only other knock of significance in the Assam scoresheet was by skipper Dheeraj Jadhav who scored patient 51 runs which came off 135 deliveries and included eight fours.No other Assam batsman could make any worthwhile contribution with six of them failing to touch doubles figures, including four ducks.This was J&K's first win of the season and Parvez Rassol had a massive role to play in it top-scoring in both innings with 67 and 120 not out and taking seven for 41 in Assam's first innings.Brief Scores:Jammu and Kashmir: 323 & 318 for 5 declared.Assam: 165 & 241
