Who is the last prophet?

Aaqib Nabi comes from Jammu and Kashmir and he is a quality all-rounder. Aaqib has earned recognition in domestic cricket for his fast bowling and explosive batting. In Ranji Trophy 2024-25, he achieved the feat of taking 68 wickets in 12 matches. Apart from this, he made headlines by taking 4 wickets in 4 balls in Duleep Trophy. Nabi is currently 29 years old. In IPL 2026, Delhi Capitals bought Aaqib for Rs 8.40 crore. However, he could not do anything special in IPL 2026 and he played 5 matches in which he could not take a single wicket. But, this quality bowler has now received a call from Team India and he has been added to the team as a net bowler.
