Shubham Dubey’s Blistering 31 Off 12 Balls Powers Rajasthan Royals to Victory Over Unbeaten Punjab Kings
Shubham Dubey scored an unbeaten 31 off just 12 balls with a strike rate of 258.33 to guide Rajasthan Royals to a six-wicket win over previously unbeaten Punjab Kings in IPL 2025. Coming in as an impact substitute at No. 6, Dubey added 77 runs in 32 balls with Donovan Ferreira to chase down the target and end Punjab's unbeaten run. Born in Yavatmal, Maharashtra, Dubey rose from humble beginnings — his father ran a paan stall in Nagpur and he couldn't afford basic cricket gear until his mentor Sudeep Jaiswal bought him his first kit.
