Anshul Kamboj has been a standout performer in the ongoing Ranji Trophy Elite 2024-25, delivering some sensational performances with the ball. In the crucial quarter-final clash between Haryana and Mumbai, Kamboj was exceptional, taking three wickets for just 29 runs in his 10 overs. 

Kamboj played a pivotal role in dismissing key Mumbai batters, including the likes of Ayush Mhatre, Siddhesh Lad, and Ajinkya Rahane, putting Haryana in a dominant position in the match.  His brilliant spell helped reduce Mumbai to 101/6 ahead of Session 2 on Day 1 with the top-order falling to his accurate and relentless bowling.

Earlier in the Ranji Trophy, in a match against Kerala, the right-arm pacer and all-rounder have toppled 10 wickets along with figures of 4-32 against Karnataka.

Anshul Kamboj's inclusion in IPL 2025 is a testament to his growth as a player and it will be his second stint in the IPL after playing for Mumbai Indians in 2024 where he scalped 2 wickets in his 3 matches. Whether he will be a regular in the playing XI of the Chennai Super Kings will depend on his form in the lead-up to the tournament, but with his recent performances, Kamboj is certainly one to watch.
