Español“A Proud and Emotional Moment”: Parvez Rasool on Jammu and Kashmir’s first Ranji Trophy win
Nabi played a key role in Jammu and Kashmir’s success, taking important wickets in every match, whether the pitch helped bowlers or was good for batting.
He finished as the leading wicket-taker of the 2025/26 Ranji Trophy season, claiming 60 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 12.56, including seven five-wicket hauls.
"It is a proud and emotional moment for the entire J&K. We have won ranji trophy after 67 years. Bishan Singh Bedi, when he took charge of J&K cricket, taught us how to win. It was Auqib Nabi's show. Auqib Nabi had talent, and he showed it through his performance," Parvez Rasool told ANI.
Jammu and Kashmir Deputy CM Surinder Chaudhary praised the team's achievement, saying they've proven J-K's potential.
"It is a proud day for Jammu and Kashmir... After 67 years, a team from J&K has won this cup... These children have proved that J&K is no less than any other state... The BCCI might pick 1 or 2 children who will play on a higher level from this team itself," Chaudhary told ANI.
Paras Dogra led Jammu and Kashmir to a fairytale victory, ending their 67-year wait by beating strong Karnataka.
In their first-ever Ranji Trophy final, Jammu and Kashmir became champions, thanks to a huge 291-run lead in the first innings, which Karnataka, led by Devdutt Padikkal, could not overcome on Saturday.
Liverpool Eye Dumfries as €25m Clause Activates
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Liverpool's interest in Dumfries remains strong despite a previous January enquiry that went nowhere. The Dutch full-back, valued at €25m, fits Liverpool's transfer policy of targeting athletic and versatile defenders.
The active release clause throughout July creates a brief window for potential transfer activity. Liverpool's recruitment team has long tracked Dumfries, recognizing his tactical flexibility that offers width without compromising defensive structure.

Steve Mounié reacts after defeat against Galatasaray
On Matchday 24 of the Süper Lig, Alanyaspor fell 3-1 to Galatasaray SK. Despite the setback for Alanyaspor, Beninese forward Steve Mounié was keen to highlight the positives from the match.
Galatasaray broke the deadlock just before halftime through Sacha Boey (45+2'). Alanyaspor responded early in the second half with an equalizer from Steve Mounié (49'), once again proving his attacking importance. But Galatasaray reclaimed the lead with goals from Lucas Torreira (58') and Victor Osimhen (83'), sealing a 3-1 victory.
At the end of the match, Steve Mounié, who netted his second Süper Lig goal of the season, wanted to keep things positive:
We fought hard. It was a tough match, but we showed character. Galatasaray is a top team, and playing here is never easy… We need to be more clinical in both boxes. Offensively and defensively, there are things we must improve.
Despite the defeat, the Beninese striker hopes to build on this performance to help his team as the league campaign continues. For the record, the Parakou native now has 9 goals in all competitions for Alanyaspor.
