Hailing from Wardha, Maharashtra, Saurabh Dubey is a tall left-arm medium-fast bowler known for his steep bounce and natural ability to swing the ball. He primarily operates as an opening bowler, utilizing his height to trouble batters with awkward angles. In eight List-A matches so far, the Vidarbha bowler has picked up 16 wickets at an average of 23.21 and best bowling figures of 4/26. The 28-year-old was also part of the India squad for the 2019 ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup. Dubey was previously part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad set-up, but he is yet to make his debut in the league. For TATA IPL 2026, he will be part of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) setup after being brought in as an injury replacement for Akash Deep, adding much-needed left-arm variety to their pace attack.
