3 fresh faces to keep an eye on in Irani Cup 2026
Jammu & Kashmir host Rest of India in Srinagar as the new domestic season gets under way.
1. Sunil Kumar
Sunil Kumar is a left-arm seamer who was part of the Jammu & Kashmir side that won the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy. He took 31 wickets in nine games during that campaign at an average of 15.77, including two five-wicket hauls. Kumar formed a key part of the J&K bowling attack alongside Auqib Nabi, who finished as the highest wicket-taker in that Ranji Trophy season. J&K now look to lift the Irani Cup and Kumar will be expected to lead the seam attack on what is going to be a helpful surface in Srinagar. The Ranji Trophy season begins on October 11, 2026, giving him added motivation to perform well in this fixture.
