Auqib Nabi and Qamran Iqbal dismantle Karnataka: Jammu and Kashmir on the verge of historical maiden Ranji Trophy title
Domestic cricket ka asli maza aur intensity dekhni hai to Hubbali chaliye. History is being rewritten in front of our eyes.
Jammu and Kashmir
are not just playing a final: they are staging a complete
Dominance
masterclass. Day four ke khatam hone tak, J&K ne
Karnataka
ko unhi ke ghar mein backfoot par dhakel diya hai. Lead ab 477 runs ki ho chuki hai, aur maiden title ki khushbu J&K dressing room tak pahunchne lagi hai.
The Inner Story: Auqib Nabi ka Keher aur Qamran Iqbal ki Class
Match ka mahaul garam tha, war of words chal rahe the, aur pressure apne peak par tha.
Karnataka
ke paas ek hi umeed thi:
Mayank Agarwal
. Mayank ne ek end sambhala aur 160 runs ki shandaar innings kheli, lekin unhe dusre end se wo support nahi mila jo ek final jeetne ke liye chahiye hota hai.
Kruthik Krishna
ne 36 runs banakar thodi der resistance dikhayi, magar ek contentious LBW decision ne
Karnataka
ki kamar tod di.
Iske baad shuru hua
Auqib Nabi
ka show. Second new ball ke saath Nabi ne aisi tabahi machayi ki
Karnataka
ka lower order taash ke patton ki tarah bikhar gaya. Nabi ne 5 wickets lekar J&K ko 291 runs ki massive first-innings lead dila di. J&K ne follow-on enforce nahi kiya aur dobara batting karne ka faisla kiya. Halaanki shuruat kharab rahi aur score 11 for 2 ho gaya tha, lekin
Qamran Iqbal
ne apne unorthodox technique se
Karnataka
ke bowlers ko thaka diya. Unka unbeaten 94 runs aur
Abdul Samad
ke quick 32 runs ne lead ko 477 tak pahuncha diya hai.
Analysis & Numbers
Auqib Nabi
registered a brilliant fifer (5-54), breaking the back of the
Karnataka
batting line-up.
Mayank Agarwal
played a lone warrior innings of 160, but his effort went in vain as the rest of the team collapsed.
J&K have a mammoth lead of 477 runs with 6 wickets still in hand, making this a
Gamechanger
situation for the valley.
Qamran Iqbal
is batting on 94*, eyes set on a century that could officially seal the fate of this final.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Yeh sirf ek cricket match nahi hai, yeh Jammu and Kashmir cricket ka naya suraj hai. Karnataka jaise domestic giants ko unke home ground par itna buri tarah dominate karna koi mamuli baat nahi hai. Auqib Nabi ki bowling aur Qamran Iqbal ki tenacity ne dikha diya hai ki kyun J&K is title ko deserve karta hai. Ab yahan se Karnataka ka wapsi karna namumkin lag raha hai. Expect J&K to lift their
Maiden Title
tomorrow. This is
Unfiltered
dominance!
