    Anshul Kamboj scripts history in Duleep Trophy with eight-wicket haul

    What's the story

    Haryana-born pacer, Anshul Kamboj, has made history in the Duleep Trophy's round-two fixture.

    Representing India C against India B at the Anantapur Cricket Ground 'B' venue, Kamboj claimed an impressive eight-wicket haul.

    This feat was achieved over two days, with five wickets taken on day three and an additional three wickets secured in the morning session on Sunday.

    He finished with 8/69 in 27.5 overs.

    Match progression

    Kamboj's performance leads India C to set high target

    Kamboj's stellar performance meant India B were bundled out for 332 while responding to Team C's first innings total of 525/10.

    The pacer opened his account by trapping half-centurion N Jagadeesan (70). His brilliance also meant prominent names like Musheer Khan, Sarfaraz Khan, and Rinku Singh bagged low scores.

    The innings concluded with Kamboj dismissing No. 11 Mukesh Kumar, leaving skipper and opener Abhimanyu Easwaran unbeaten on 157.

    Historic achievement

    Kamboj joins elite group of pacers in Duleep Trophy history

    With this achievement, Kamboj has become only the third pacer to record an eight-wicket haul in the history of the Duleep Trophy.

    He now stands alongside Debasis Mohanty (10/46) and Ashoke Dinda (8/123) in this exclusive club.

    Prior to this match, Kamboj had not taken more than three wickets in an innings in his previous 14 First-Class matches, making his recent performance a significant career milestone.

    Career journey

    Kamboj's journey from Karnal to national cricket

    Kamboj, a native of Karnal in Haryana, is not just a pacer but also an all-rounder.

    He first gained recognition during the domestic 50-overs tournament when he helped Haryana secure their maiden Vijay Hazare Trophy title.

    Kamboj was one of the top wicket-takers in that tournament, claiming 17 scalps from 10 matches.

    Meanwhile, the 23-year-old has raced to 35 FC wickets, averaging 35-plus.

    IPL stint

    Kamboj's IPL debut and future prospects

    Before his IPL debut with Mumbai Indians in 2024, Kamboj had played in only nine T20 matches.

    Despite a challenging start against Sunrisers Hyderabad, where his delivery was ruled a no-ball after dismissing Travis Head, he managed to play three games for MI and take two wickets.

    His unique high-arm release and straight seam position have caught the attention of experts and analysts during his brief stint in the franchise tournament.
