Auqib Nabi, a talented fast bowler from Jammu and Kashmir, recently made his debut for the Delhi Capitals in a match against the Chennai Super Kings at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium. The 29-year-old was signed by DC for a significant sum of Rs. 8.40 crore at the 2026 IPL auction, beating out interest from other franchises like Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals. Nabi had previously worked as a net bowler for various teams before getting his big break with Delhi.
Nabi’s impressive performance in the Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season, where he took 60 wickets in just ten matches at an outstanding average of 12.56, caught the attention of many. He became only the third bowler in the history of the tournament to achieve this feat. Known for his ability to swing the ball both ways and his knack for taking wickets on challenging batting surfaces, Nabi is also being touted as a potential debutant for India’s test team in the near future.
With his skills and determination, Nabi has quickly established himself as a promising talent in the world of cricket. His debut for Delhi Capitals marks a significant milestone in his career, and fans are eager to see how he will continue to impress on the field. Published on April 11, 2026.
