Ranji Trophy: Harsh Dubey Becomes Highest Wicket-taker In A Single Season
Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium: Vidarbha’s left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey etched his name in the Ranji Trophy record books, setting the record for most wickets taken during a single season, picking up 3-88 on the third day of the final against Kerala at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium here on Friday.
Bowling in Kerala's first innings after Vidarbha posted 379 on being asked to bat first, Dubey achieved the milestone with his third wicket of the innings, dismissing M.D. Nidheesh after Tea on Day Three. Earlier, the young left-arm spinner had sent back Kerala's top scorer, Aditya Sarwate, for 79 before trapping Salman Nizar—Kerala’s leading run-getter this season—LBW just before lunch.
With his haul of 3-88, Dubey surpassed Bihar’s Ashutosh Aman, who had claimed 68 wickets in the 2018-19 season, and Saurashtra’s Jaydev Unadkat, who took 67 wickets in the 2019-20 campaign. Dubey has now taken 69 wickets this season.
