Aqib Nabi's Stellar Spell Puts Jammu & Kashmir in Command of Ranji Trophy Final

Aqib Nabi's scintillating bowling performance rattled Karnataka's formidable batting lineup, catapulting Jammu and Kashmir into a dominant position in the Ranji Trophy final. Despite a valiant century from Mayank Agarwal, Karnataka was left trailing by a significant margin of 364 runs at the end of the third day.

The day belonged to Jammu and Kashmir, thanks to Nabi, whose figures of 3/32 in 14 overs dismantled Karnataka's star-studded top-order. The team's impressive first-innings score of 584, powered by Shubham Pundir's century, set the stage for J&K's strong grip on the match.

With a decisive opening, Nabi made crucial breakthroughs, including the pivotal dismissal of KL Rahul. Karnataka now faces a daunting challenge, needing to overcome the significant deficit laid down by the J&K bowlers on the penultimate day of play.
