Auqib Nabi Scripts History: Third Pacer in 92 Years to Take 60 Wickets in Ranji Season
Auqib Nabi brought up 60 wickets for the season to become the leading wicket-taker of the current Ranji Trophy campaign. His figures of five for 54 ensured Karnataka fell well short of Jammu & Kashmir’s first-innings score of 584.
In doing so, he became only the third pacer in the tournament’s 92-year history to claim 60 wickets in a single season.
The five-wicket haul was his seventh of the season and the 15th of his Ranji career, underlining a remarkable run in domestic cricket.
