Kashmir's Defining Season

Jammu and Kashmir’s run to the final of the Ranji Trophy feels like a quantum shift.

- 

After more than six decades, the team has achieved what once seemed a herculean task.This journey has brought joy and jubilation, and began a real buzz about what can happen when talent finds belief and support.

Led by pacer Aqib Nabi, the team has played with focus and confidence. Nabi has bowled with control and energy. At key moments, he has broken strong partnerships and lifted the mood of the side. Young players across the valley now see someone they can relate to. They talk about him with pride. On local grounds, children copy his bowling action and dream a little bigger.
