The television hums softly as family members sit close together, absorbing a moment they know will live long in memory – the Jammu & Kashmir cricket team scripting history with their maiden Ranji Trophy triumph. When 29 year old Nabi’s name is announced as Player of the Tournament, his father, Ghulam Nabi Dar, a schoolteacher, lowers his gaze and wipes his eyes.

Key Highlights

  • “I am very proud of him,” he says quietly.
  • “Now I want to see him wear the India jersey.” It is a far cry from the days when a young Nabi would slip out of the house to play cricket for hours, returning to a furious father who saw little future in the game.
  • In one desperate attempt to keep him indoors and focused on studies, Dar once tied him with a rope to stop him from running off to the playground.
  • “I wanted him to become a doctor.
  • I thought cricket was just a distraction,” he recalls, smiling at the memory.
