Karnataka vs Jammu and Kashmir, Final, Ranji Trophy Elite 2025-26 - Player Highlights

Auqib Nabi to Rahul, out Caught by Kanhaiya Wadhawan!! J & K review for a caught behind! The keeper and the other close-in fielders were very confident and they egged Dogra to challenge the decision to which he agreed. Was a skiddy back of a length delivery on off, straightened after landing to square Rahul up. Rahul was caught in the crease as he tried to keep it out with an angled bat but seemed to have got a faint edge. There was a slight deflection. Wadhawan took the catch and went up straightaway. Time for the replays. UltraEdge rolls in and there's a clear spike when the ball is next to the bat. As soon as the J & K players watch it on the big screen, they celebrate with a lot of zeal. Auqib Nabi has got the big fish with a beauty. 56th wicket of the season for Nabi. The late movement got the better of Rahul there. Big wicket for J & K and they are cock-a-hoop.
