IPL Auction 2026: There is a saying that ‘No one is stronger than time nor will he be, when someone’s time comes, no one will be able to stop him from moving forward.’ Perhaps something similar has happened with Aaqib Nabi Dar, a resident of Jammu and Kashmir. Today he has become the hero of the streets of Baramulla.

Aaqib Nabi Dar is originally from Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir. His father is a school teacher. Aaqib spent his childhood in Baramulla and kept playing there since childhood.

Neither the right field, nor the right shoes, still achieved the goal
