Vidarbha bowler Harsh Dubey produced an exceptional spell of spin bowling on the opening day of the Ranji Trophy 2026-27 round four clash against Madhya Pradesh at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. Competing in an Elite Group A fixture, Dubey ran through the opposition batting lineup, claiming 9 wickets to single-handedly restrict Madhya Pradesh to a modest first-innings total of 209 runs.
Batting First Proves Costly for Madhya Pradesh
Earlier in the match, Madhya Pradesh captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and elected to bat first. That decision backfired as Dubey maintained relentless pressure, striking at regular intervals and giving the batting unit no opportunity to build substantial partnerships.
International Pedigree on Display in Domestic Circuit
The 24-year-old all-rounder has already represented the senior national side, having featured in two One Day Internationals for India. He made his international debut earlier this year in a series against Afghanistan, and this dominant domestic showing highlights his growing authority as a match-winning bowler.
