As the stage is set for the high-octane IPL 2025 clash between Sun Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, SRH have made a strategic move to bolster their squad. The team has roped in Harsh Dubey, a left-arm spinner and all-rounder from Vidarbha, as a replacement for the injured Smaran Ravichandran. The announcement, made just hours before the match, has sparked excitement among SRH fans and added a new dynamic to the game.
Who is Harsh Dubey and What Does He Bring to SRH?
Harsh Dubey, a 22-year-old left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder, has been signed by SRH for INR 30 lakh. Dubey made headlines during the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season, where he shattered records by taking 69 wickets, surpassing the previous record of 68 set by Ashutosh Aman in the 2018-19 season. His remarkable performance didn’t stop there; he also contributed significantly with the bat, scoring 476 runs throughout the tournament. His all-round prowess earned him the Player of the Tournament award and played a pivotal role in Vidarbha’s championship victory.
Dubey’s stats across formats are equally impressive. In T20s, List A, and First-Class cricket, he has taken 127 wickets and scored 941 runs, showcasing his versatility and consistency. His ability to deliver under pressure makes him a valuable asset for SRH as they look to end their IPL 2025 campaign on a high note.
SRH’s journey this season has been a rollercoaster, especially after finishing as runners-up in the 2024 edition. With only three wins out of ten matches, they currently sit ninth on the points table. While their playoff hopes are dashed, today’s match offers a chance for the team to redeem themselves and give their fans something to cheer about.
