Ranji Trophy: From Scenic Kathar To Playing Final In Hubbali - The Making Of Sunil Kumar
Ranji Trophy: On February 17 in Kalyani, many felt Bengal were assured of entering the Ranji Trophy final after bagging a slender lead over Jammu & Kashmir. A big second innings score and that would have been enough for Bengal to get into the title clash against Karnataka.
But cricket is a great leveller and brings its own twists and turns beyond one’s imagination. The exact same thing happened when Bengal folded for 99, giving J&K a target of 126 which they chased down to get into the title clash starting in Hubbali on Tuesday.
Apart from Auqib Nabi taking a sensational four-fer, his new ball partner Sunil Kumar also grabbed four scalps to put J&K in the driver’s seat for entering their first-ever Ranji Trophy final. Now, against Karnataka and a formidable batting line-up featuring KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal, Karun Nair and Mayank Agarwal, left-armer Sunil is ready for the biggest game of his life after having his coming-of-age moment in Kalyani.
