I Have Played The Best Knock In My Career So Far, Says Elated Iqbal After J&K’s Win Over Delhi
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Just after 11:30am at a near-empty Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday, Qamran Iqbal pierced the infield with a fierce cut and got the boundary that sealed Jammu & Kashmir’s historic seven-wicket win over Delhi on the final day of their Elite Group D Ranji Trophy clash.
J&K completing their first-ever win over Delhi in the competition’s 91-year history was led by Iqbal, who had steadied the chase in a tense final hour on day three and then converted it into an elegant, unbeaten 133 off 147 balls – also his first century in first-class cricket.
For Iqbal, who had an inconsistent run and got out for 14 in first innings, the unbeaten 133 could well turn out to be his breakthrough innings. “I think I have the best knock in my career so far. It has been a small career for me, but this is my best knock till date. Before I came out to bat in the second innings, our coaches told me to play my game freely.”
