J&K’s pride Auqib Nabi impresses on return but he should follow Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Anshul Kamboj example

Published by Parlour News

Auqib Nabi returned to the Delhi Capitals Playing XI against Punjab Kings, and boy was he fantastic. However, the fact that the match was played in Dharamsala helped him a lot. The pitch was doing a lot for fast bowlers, and Auqib made the most of it. It was exactly the kind of wicket that propelled him to national stardom in the Ranji Trophy. All he had to do was bowl a Test-match line, and he did exactly that. Auqib Nabi not only impressed with his bowling, he also took a nice catch.

The freeze and the fix: Anshul Kamboj, the Test that stalled him and the IPL that rebuilt him | Cricket News

Published by Webster

“I really don’t know what happened with Anshul. It was like he froze.” Satish Rana has asked his pupil the same question many times since last July. Soon after the Test. Weeks after Anshul Kamboj returned to Karnal. The answer has never changed. He didn’t know why he bowled the way he did. He didn’t feel pressure. There were no fitness issues. No warning signs. But whatever the reason, he simply couldn’t bowl in that Test. Kamboj had flown to Manchester as a replacement, seen by India’s think-tank as a seamer suited to English conditions — someone who could operate in the mid-130s, touch 140, and move the ball both ways. What India got instead was a bowler who ambled in at 125kph, almost anonymous in a match that demanded more from him. Nobody had an explanation. Not the support staff. Not captain Shubman Gill. Not Rana. Not even Kamboj himself. “I’ve been coaching him since childhood and I’ve never seen him have a day like that,” Rana says. “It was new not just for …

Why MS Dhoni and Fleming rate ‘AK47’ Anshul Kamboj high

Why MS Dhoni and Fleming rate ‘AK47’ Anshul Kamboj high

Published by Webster

In the Haryana dressing room, Anshul Kamboj goes by the nickname ‘AK 47’. During the Ranji season, his teammates would often chant ‘AK47’ as he ran in to bowl and there is a small story behind that. “When they asked for a number, everyone was picking their birth date or a lucky number. But I was looking for something unique that will match by name. So I picked 47 because it is also rhyming well…now everyone calls me that,” the seamer had once told The Indian Express. In 2024, he picked all ten wickets in an innings against Kerala, and has been growing from strength to strength since. This year he has starred for Chennai Super Kings and has earned praise from Dhoni and Fleming. Kamboj has been named in the India A squad on the tour of England, and if he performs well there, there is a chance he can sneak into the main national squad as well.

Ranji Trophy Quarter-Finals: MD Nidheesh, Anshul Kamboj, Chintan Gaja Shine On Opening Day

Published by Webster

The opening day of the Ranji Trophy quarterfinals saw a dominant display of bowling across four matches on Saturday. Kerala pacer MD Nidheesh bagged a five-wicket haul to restrict Jammu & Kashmir to 228/8 at stumps at the MCA Stadium in Pune. Kerala won the toss and invited J&K to bat first. The batting side had a poor start as Nidheesh removed the top three in the opening session to leave the side reeling at 48/3. However, Kanhaiya Wadhawan first stitched a brief 19-run partnership with captain Paras Dogra, who was removed by Basil Thampi, before adding a 55-run stand with Sahil Lotra. Wadhawan departed after scoring 48 as Nidheesh got his fourth wicket of the day. Lotra and Lone Nasir steered J&K’s innings further and took them to over 150-run mark. The former played a gritty knock of 35 off 125 balls before losing his wicket to Aditya Sarwate. In the final session of the day, Nidheesh completed his five-wicket haul with the scalp of Nasir, who made a vital contribution of …

Ranji Trophy: Anshul ‘AK 47’ Kamboj – Haryana’s weapon terrorising batsmen with pace and movement | Cricket News

Published by Webster

In the Haryana dressing room, Anshul Kamboj goes by the nickname ‘AK 47’. It sounds apt, for there are very few seamers on the domestic circuit these days who have terrorised batsmen with movement as much as Kamboj does. The 24-year-old is into his fourth domestic season, with his stocks rising rapidly every year. With 38 scalps already in red-ball cricket this season, Kamboj is being looked at with plenty of interest by national selectors, especially for the Test tour of England in June. This Ranji Trophy, Kamboj is one among the many reasons Haryana are sitting top of Group C ahead of the all-important match against Karnataka starting Thursday, with a draw sufficient to seal a quarterfinal berth. In four matches so far, Kamboj has snared 22 wickets, including an incredible all 10 in an innings. His teammates chanting “AK 47” – 47 being the number on the back of his shirt – as he runs in has been a common scene this season. “When they asked for a number, everyone was picking their …

Haryana seamer Anshul Kamboj scripts history, picks 10 wickets in an innings | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Growing up in Karnal, Anshul Kamboj started playing cricket because his father Udham Singh wanted him to lose weight. The seamer’s story is similar to a fellow Haryana athlete and double Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra, who too was overweight as a kid. On Friday, the Haryana medium pacer became only the third cricketer after Bengal’s Premangsu Chatterjee (1956-57) and Rajasthan’s Pradeep Sundaram (1985-86) to take all ten wickets in an innings in the Ranji Trophy. Playing against Kerala, his bowling figures read 30.1-9-49-10 as the visitors were bowled out for 291 in their first essay. Haryana were 139/7 in response. Life had felt weighty a dozen years ago though for the day’s hero. “As a 10-year-old, he was overweight,” Kamboj’s childhood coach Satish Rana tells The Indian Express. A 10-year-old Anshul was taken to the nearest cricket academy by his father, who instructed coach Rana to make him bowl so that he would shed a few kilos. 1⃣ innings 🤝 1⃣0⃣ wickets 👏 Historic Spell 🙌 3⃣0⃣.1⃣ overs9⃣ maidens4⃣9⃣ runs1⃣0⃣ wickets 🔥 Watch 📽️ Haryana …
