Born on 27 August 1994 is Shubham Dubey. Having a commendable record in domestic cricket, playing for Vidarbha in the 2020-2021 Vijay Hazare Trophy, the RR scouting crew roped in the last year. 

The left handed middle order batter made the headlines in the 2023 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, kudos to his 20 ball 58 that sailed Vidarbha to victory. Dubey’s strike rate during the afore mentioned match was in the 290s! And that probably is the reason why the RR management pulled him in 2024 for a generous 5.8 Cr price tag.
