Jammu & Kashmir made way into their maiden Ranji Trophy semifinal on Monday after defeating former champions Madhya Pradesh in the quarterfinal. Auqib Nabi, who was bought for ₹8.40 crore by Delhi Capitals during the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction last December, was star of the show for Jammu and Kashmir.
The 29-year-old, who picked up a seven-wicket haul in the first innings, took a fifer in the second to finish the game with figures of 12/110 as 2021-22 season winners Madhya Pradesh were bundled out for 234 while chasing 291 runs for victory in the fourth innings. In the semifinal, Jammu & Kashmir is most likely to play against either Andhra Pradesh or Bengal.
Uttarakhand will play Karnataka in the first semi-final.
