Auqib Nabi is the most visible individual gain coming out of the Ranji Trophy. Seldom in recent memory has one player captured as much public attention for his Ranji Trophy performance. His biggest achievement is that in a nation largely fixated on the national team’s performance, he got us to log live into the match to check whether he would bowl Karnataka out and get J&K to take a first innings lead in the final. 

Nabi’s season stands out as one of the most statistically unique campaigns in the history of the Ranji Trophy, particularly for a fast bowler in a competition dominated by spin. He finished the season with 60 wickets.
