Pravin Dubey

Leg-spinner Pravin Dubey carved a niche in IPL arenas with fearless middle-over variations and fearless hitting that altered match rhythms. Rising through Delhi Capitals’ scouting network, he impressed captains with sharp googlies, flatter trajectories and ability to choke run-flow in death overs. Memorable bursts against top-orders showcased his knack for breaking partnerships, while late-order cameos surprised rivals searching for lower-order wickets. Dubey’s athleticism in the deep and quick reflexes added value to modern IPL fielding standards. Trusted by franchise brains in crunch fixtures, he executed plans under pressure, often turning games in a single spell. His journey from domestic obscurity to prime-time IPL nights underlines the tournament’s platform for raw talent.

IPL spinner Pravin Dubey has quietly built a reputation as a wily leg-break bowler across three seasons with Delhi Capitals and now Punjab Kings. In just 13 overs spread across five bowling innings, the 30-year-old has already snapped two key wickets, including a best of 1 for 15, and is striking every 39 balls—numbers that put him in the sharp-end bracket of emerging Indian tweakers. Operating at a tidy economy of 8.54 on batting-friendly tracks in 2025, Dubey’s ability to stem the run-flow while hunting breakthroughs makes him a valuable middle-overs option for the Kings. With the bat, Dubey is still waiting for his first big knock: 23 runs off 33 balls in two brief outings, a highest of 16, and a couple of crisp fours show flashes of lower-order hitting that captains can bank on when the game stretches to the death. Three IPL campaigns, two franchises, and a growing sense that the next big story from Punjab Kings’ spin cupboard could yet be written by Pravin Dubey.
