The remarkable run has drawn praise for Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who described the moment as a chance to seek national recognition for overlooker cricketers. Speaking to NDTV, Abdullah said, “People will wake up to the fact that Jammu and Kashmir has great cricketers, but they have not got exposure. You have not heard about our cricketers. It is time now that one or two members from Jammu and Kashmir truly deserve to wear Indian colours”. The Chief Minister said he was keen to come to Hubballi and cheer for the team. “This is …

Sourav Ganguly tells Ajit Agarkar, BCCI to consider Auqib Nabi for ‘national colours’: ‘England the place to start’

Published by Parlour News

Auqib Nabi, the Jammu and Kashmir pacer, is breaking down the door when it comes to selection for the national team. The 29-year-old took his seventh five-wicket haul in the Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season, as he helped his side take a first-innings lead in the summit clash against Karnataka at the KSCA Hubli Cricket Ground in Hubballi. Owing to this first innings lead, Jammu and Kashmir are now on the cusp of their maiden Ranji title, and if this happens, it would be a historic feat for the entire region. Auqib Nabi took a fifer in the Ranji Trophy final against Karnataka. (PTI) Looking at Nabi’s performance in the summit clash, former India captain and BCCI President Sourav Ganguly heaped praise. He told the chairman of selectors, Ajit Agarkar, to consider him for the national team. Dada stated that England would be the best place for Auqib to get a taste of the blue jersey.

Mayank Agarwal’s fighting hundred keeps Karnataka in fight after J&K pacer Auqib Nabi runs through top order

Mayank Agarwal’s fighting hundred keeps Karnataka in fight after J&K pacer Auqib Nabi runs through top order

Published by Webster

Mayank Agarwal slashed and charged with such rasping effect on Thursday that it wound the clock back to a merrier season when he was buzzing in the India shirt on home pitches. Those were typical Indian turners, in late 2019, that demanded nimble feet and malleable wrists in tandem. A slow deck in the Ranji Trophy final did not. But the horrors that Jammu and Kashmir talisman Auqib Nabi unleashed on his opening partner KL Rahul prompted the out-of-favour India opener to deploy his typical fallback options. Agarwal’s form was wavering – averaging below 35 in nine games this season – and it has been only weeks since the 35-year-old lost the captaincy to young Devdutt Padikkal. Agarwal went busy, making runs the way he used to for India seven years ago, as his 21st First-Class hundred was vital for Karnataka, who finished Day 3 on 220/5, still trailing J&K by 364. The unbeaten 130 was a knock expected from a senior statesman when the chips were down. Agarwal’s top-order mates — who have frequented …

5 min readFeb 26, 2026 03:43 PM IST Auqib Nabi’s big litmus test was the opening act of the Ranji Trophy finals week. Beyond the weight of expectation bearing down on Karnataka and J&K, Nabi’s clash with a Karnataka top order collectively carrying close to 100 Test caps was the emboldened sub-plot for Indian cricket, desperate for more match-ready seamers. The highest wicket-taker of the season, with 56 scalps, his opposition included an active India opener and the leading run-scorer of the Ranji campaign. It took Nabi 22 balls to stupefy KL Rahul with a framing so brutal on the bat-pad-wicket trifecta that the stoic India opener managed only one scoring shot. The new-ball set-up, lasting four overs from the pavilion end, instantly showed the Karnataka bowlers what they ought to have done on the first morning under muggier conditions. The second spell of five from the other end aptly illustrated why the man from Baramulla has been touted as the most India-ready seamer in the domestic circuit since last season. Unlike Karnataka, who had …

Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Auqib Nabi wreaked havoc on Thursday as his fiery opening spell sent Karnataka crashing to 57 for 4 inside 18 overs in their attempt to match J&K’s imposing first-innings total of 584 at the KSCA Hubli Cricket Ground. Nabi struck three times in 23 balls, dismissing seasoned India batters KL Rahul and Karun Nair, along with Smaran Ravichandran, including two wickets in successive deliveries.

Squared up in the crease, Rahul attempted to fend it away with an angled bat, only to edge it to close-in fielder Kanhaiya Wadhawan.
