Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has secured the signing of an all-rounder Harsh Dubey. The all-rounder has left his mark on domestic cricket, especially in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season. Dubey will replace an injured Smaran Ravichandran, who is already ruled out of the ongoing IPL 2025. The fun fact is that SRH appointed Ravichandran in place of the injured Adam Zampa, and now the team management replaces Zampa's replacement for the same reason, injury. Harsh Dubey has made his reputation in the domestic circuit with his all-round abilities. 

In an official press release, IPL authority has confirmed the signing of the Indian cricketer. The media release has stated, "Sunrisers Hyderabad sign Harsh Dubey as an injury replacement for Smaran Ravichandran. Dubey, who is an all-rounder and plays for Vidarbha in domestic cricket, has 127 wickets and 941 runs against his name from the 16 T20s, 20 List A, and 18 first-class matches he has played. He will join SRH for INR 30 lakh."

Dubey proved himself as a consistent figure for Vidharbha, took wickets at regular intervals, and added notable runs. His recent first-class cricket performance also is looking very promising.

According to stats, the team still has some chances to confirm a playoff ticket, but the scenario is not comfortable for the team. They have to win all of their remaining matches and need to keep an eye on other match results as well.
