On Thursday, January 23, Umar Nazir Mir, the fast bowler of Jammu & Kashmir, shot to instant limelight after dismissing Indian captain Rohit Sharma cheaply, while he was playing for Mumbai during the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024-25 clash at the Bandra Kurla Complex Ground in Mumbai.

The right-arm pacer bowled a good length delivery to Rohit Sharma, which the batter tried to pull towards the leg side, only to get a leading edge before being snaffled up at the short mid-on region.

Following that, Umar Nazir Mir, who is six-foot four inches tall, kept up the good work with the ball in hand, dismissing Hardik Tamore, captain Ajinkya Rahane, and Shivam Dube, to pick up a four-wicket haul, helping Jammu & Kashmir bowl out Mumbai for just 120 runs in 33.2 despite an impressive fifty from Shardul Thakur in the lower order. The quality of batters from Mumbai sent back into the pavilion from Umar Nazir Mir showcased how he is hitting his straps at a key stage of his cricketing career.
