Harsh Dubey (born 23 July 2002) is an Indian cricketer who plays for Vidarbha in domestic cricket and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League.[1] He made his ODI debut on 13 June 2026 against Afghanistan.

With 69 wickets and 476 runs, Dubey won the award for the player of the tournament in the 2024–25 Ranji Trophy, which Vidarbha won.[2]

Early life

Harsh Dubey was born on 23 July 2002 in Pune, Maharashtra.[3] He represent the Vidarbha Cricket Association at various age-group levels, including the Under-19 and Under-23 squads, before making his senior debut.[4]

Domestic career

Dubey made his List A debut for Vidarbha on 28 February 2021, in the 2020–21 Vijay Hazare Trophy.[5] He later made his Twenty20 debut on 4 November 2021, against Andhra in the 2021–22 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

His career trajectory shifted significantly during the 2024–25 Ranji Trophy. Dubey scripted history by claiming 69 wickets in a single season, the highest ever for a bowler in that competition's history, leading Vidarbha to their third title.[6] For his all-round performance, including over 400 runs, he was named the Player of the Tournament.

Indian Premier League

Following his domestic success, Dubey was signed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) as a replacement player during the 2025 IPL season.[6] He made his IPL debut on 5 May 2025 against Delhi Capitals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.[4] In his debut season, he impressed by taking five wickets in just three matches at an average of 19.60, with his victims including Virat Kohli and Mitchell Marsh.[6] In the 2026 IPL auction, SRH retained him for ₹30 lakh.[4] During the 2026 season, he became a regular in the playing XI, notably taking 2/18 against Lucknow Super Giants and scoring a quickfire 9* off 3 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders.

India A career

In 2025, Dubey was selected for the India A squad for the Rising Stars Asia Cup held in Qatar, where he scored his maiden T20 half-century.[6] His consistent domestic performance led to his maiden call-up to the India A team for the shadow tour of South Africa in early 2026, where he scored a career-best 84 in a first-class fixture.[3]

International career

Dubey got his maiden International call up for the test and the ODI series vs Afghanistan.
