On one hand the excitement of international cricket continues and on the other hand the domestic season of Indian cricket is also going on. Currently, Team India is playing series in all three formats one by one, while India A team is also playing its matches. But at the same time Ranji Trophy season is also going on and many players are leaving their mark here. One of them is fast bowler Aaqib Nabi, who is wreaking havoc on the batsmen this season and has done the feat of taking 5 wickets in an innings for the third time.

4 batsmen were out for 0

Such havoc of Aaqib Nabi was seen on the very first day of the Ranji Trophy match between Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi, which started on Saturday, 8th November. It proved difficult for the Delhi batsmen to overcome this fast bowler from Jammu and Kashmir. Aaqib Nabi gave the team its first success by dismissing Arpit Rana. After this, Abid Mushtaq and Vanshraj Sharma did not allow the middle order batsmen to last long and Delhi lost 5 wickets till 182 runs.

From here Aaqib Nabi did not take much time in settling the lower order of Delhi. Aaqib took 4 out of the last 5 wickets and thus took 5 wickets for just 35 runs in 16 overs. The special thing about this 5-wicket haul of Aaqib was that 4 out of 5 batsmen could not even open their account. Hrithik Shaukeen was the only batsman who was dismissed by Aaqib Nabi but he managed to score 7 runs.

Strong performance in Ranji Trophy 2025

Aaqib Nabi has proved to be a problem for the batsmen since the first match of this season. This is the third time in 4 matches of this season, when a fast bowler from Jammu and Kashmir has taken 5 wickets in an innings. Only in the last match with Chhattisgarh, he was not effective and could take only 2 wickets. Earlier, Aaqib had taken 7 wickets in the second innings against Mumbai and then also in the second innings against Rajasthan. Overall, till now 24 wickets have been taken in only 6 innings.
