Auqib Nabi claims maiden County Championship wicket on Surrey debut
Auqib Nabi took 1 for 33 and dismissed Kuldeep Yadav on his County Championship debut.
Auqib Nabi dismissed Kuldeep Yadav on his County Championship debut for Surrey at The Oval. The Jammu and Kashmir medium pacer finished with figures of 1 for 33 from 15 overs. Yorkshire were bowled out for 185 in their first innings.
Nabi removed his Indian Test teammate during the opening day of the match. The pacer's first wicket in English first-class cricket came in his initial appearance in the competition. Surrey's bowlers kept Yorkshire under pressure throughout the innings.
Nabi's debut performance adds to his growing reputation as a reliable seamer. The all-rounder continues to balance his domestic commitments with opportunities in English county cricket. Surrey will look to build on their advantage when they resume their first innings on Friday.

Nabi's maiden first-class wicket against an India teammate underlines how county cricket offers Indian players regular exposure to high-quality opposition.
