The T-shirt that Vidarbha's Harsh Dubey wore had ‘Nirvana’ written on it and the serene look on the face of one of India's fast emerging left-arm spinners was reflective of his cricketing thoughts.

Dubey, with 117 wickets in 23 First Class matches at an economy of 3.02, was in roaring form in the 2024-2025 season when he was part of the Ranji Trophy and Irani Trophy winning Vidarbha squad.

The 23-year-old spin bowling all-rounder revealed it all feels like a dream now.

"Obviously, It's a dream for any cricketer to play Ranji Trophy and on top of that if you are winning the Irani Trophy as well, it's a great feeling. When I was at U-16 level, we used to follow what is happening at the Ranji Trophy and even Irani Trophy. So, today be part of the winning squads for both is something very special," he added.

Dubey had taken six wickets in the Irani Trophy win where the Ranji Trophy champions beat the Rest of India in style.

When asked about being in the frame for India ‘A’ tours, Dubey stated he has been in the mix last couple of tours.
