The nine-wicket haul is the best ever innings return by a Vidarbha bowler in the Ranji Trophy and makes Dubey the first player to reach the mark.
Dubey took the new ball for Vidarbha and bowled 23.1 overs during the spell, claiming nine of the ten wickets fell as Madhya Pradesh were bowled out for 209. The only wicket that eluded him was taken by Nachiket Bhute, who dismissed Yash Dubey at the top of the Madhya Pradesh line early in the innings. This single intervention from Bhute was the only factor that stopped Harsh Dubey from taking a ten-wicket haul, which would have been an even rarer feat in domestic cricket.
The figures of 9/53 represent the best ever bowling performance by a Vidarbha bowler in a single innings of the Ranji Trophy, surpassing all previous single innings scores in the association’s history in the competition. How does this performance fit in with Harsh Dubey’s national record? Dubey’s nine-wicket performance is the culmination of an already exceonal Ranji Trophy record for Vidarbha.
In the 2024–25 season alone, he took 69 wickets for the team at an average of 16.99, underlining his position as one of the most consistent frontline players in domestic cricket. The 9/53 against Madhya Pradesh now stands above any innings return he or any other Vidarbha bowler has ever managed in the Ranji Trophy. His ability to play for long periods, as demonstrated by his 23.1 performance in Nagpur, has been a consistent feature of his domestic performances throughout the season.
What does Harsh Dubey’s international and IPL journey look like ahead of this season? Dubey made his India debut in June 2026, pearing in two ODIs and taking four wickets in those matches. The international call-up comes hot on the heels of his outstanding domestic track record and he has since been signed by Sunrisers Hyderabad for the IPL, confirming the esteem in which he is held in franchise cricket.
