Career Progress Of Anshul Kamboj
Hailing from Karnal, Haryana, Anshul Kamboj is an all-rounder, not just a fast bowler. He first came into the spotlight during the domestic 50-over competition, where he played a key role in Haryana’s first-ever Vijay Hazare Trophy win.
Kamboj was among the leading wicket-takers in that tournament, picking up 17 wickets in 10 matches. At 23, he has also grabbed 35 wickets in first-class cricket with an average above 35.
Before debuting in the IPL for Mumbai Indians in 2024, Anshul Kamboj had limited T20 experience, having played just nine matches. His debut against Sunrisers Hyderabad was challenging, as a no-ball denied him the wicket of Travis Head. Despite this setback, Kamboj featured in three games for MI where he picked two wickets.
