JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir pace spearhead Auqib Nabi continued his sensational Ranji Trophy 2025–26 campaign by claiming a five-wicket haul to surge to 60 wickets this season, becoming the highest wicket-taker of the tournament.
The fiery spell powered J&K at a crucial juncture and helped Auqib leapfrog the competition at the top of the wicket charts, underlining one of the most dominant bowling seasons in recent domestic history.
With this latest five-for, the right-arm quick has etched his name in the record books as the most successful bowler of the ongoing Ranji Trophy. His ability to strike with the new ball and return to dismantle top and middle orders has made him the undisputed spearhead of the J&K attack.
Auqib’s relentless accuracy, sharp movement, and temperament in big moments have repeatedly delivered early breakthroughs and decisive spells that shaped J&K’s historic campaign.
Meanwhile, Jammu & Kashmir tightened their grip on the Elite 2025–26 final after bundling out Karnataka cricket team for 293 on Day 4, securing a massive 291-run first-innings lead and placing themselves firmly in command of the title clash.
