Jammu and Kashmir captain Paras Dogra broke silence on the on-field incident in which he head-butted Karnataka’s KV Aneesh during the second day's play in the Ranji Trophy final in Hubballi, saying that it wasn't a "big thing."

Dogra was involved in a heated altercation with substitute fielder Aneesh and head-butted him on the helmet shortly after smashing Prasidh Krishna for a boundary.

Asked to sum up the day in which J&K racked up a massive 527/6, Dogra told reporters, "Very good, to be honest. We are in a good position."

"That's what matters for me. All that keeps happening, and especially when you are playing a final or something like that, a bit of it happens," he said.

"It was just in a little heat of the moment. Not a big thing. Yeah, it is all settled now. That's (a hot day) a different thing, and it was momentary. We started talking and chatting after that, so it's all well," Dogra added.

The skipper said his team will look to bat as long as possible to force a result in the title clash on the basis of a first-innings lead.

"No, we haven't set a target, to be honest. We can get the result from the first-innings lead as well, so we will try to bat as long as we can," Dogra stated. "Mostly everyone (in the J&K camp) is satisfied, but still we can go (bat) long. Everyone knows Karnataka is a good batting side. We would try to put as many runs as we can."

Reflecting on his 110-run partnership with Kanhaiya Wadhawan (70) for the sixth wicket, Dogra said the discussion between them was to "dig in".

"(We spoke about) having a good partnership. Let's dig in because this time won't come again. Try to give your best and take the team into a good position," he said.

Dogra revealed he had practiced against short bowling for an hour before play began, but refrained from commenting on the toil for Karnataka bowlers.

"I can't comment on all those things. But we have worked hard. We have batted really well, and that's why we have put a good score on the board. I will never say anything about the bowlers," he said.

"I had a talk with Ajay Sharma sir and Dishant Yagnik, our fielding coach. In the morning when I came, I did a one-hour drill for it (short-pitch bowling)."
