In the bunch of multiple emerging and fresh talents, J&K pacer Auqib Nabi is at the top of the list for his standout bowling performances in the previous domestic tournaments for the state team. As a reward for constant, effective bowling efforts, he got a lucrative Indian Premier League contract during the IPL 2026 mini auction.
Auqib Nabi captured the headlines mostly due to his skillful bowling spells in the Ranji Trophy 2025-26. In this season, the seamer took 60 wickets in 17 innings at an economy rate of only 2.65. As a bowler, his strike rate was 28.00.

PM Narendra Modi addressed Nabi
“Last month, an interesting match was witnessed in Karnataka's Hubballi, where Jammu and Kashmir's cricket team won the Ranji Trophy.

“After this exemplary performance on the cricket ground, enthusiasm has increased among the youth there. In the coming days, this will inspire many young people to take up sports,” he continued.
