The Rajasthan Royals paid Rs 5.8 crore for the Vidarbha batsman, who was renowned for his middle-order hitting extravaganza. In the latest Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Dubey scored the most runs for Vidarbha, hitting 28 boundaries, including 18 sixes, with a strike rate of 187.18 in seven innings. The 29-year-old is renowned for his huge knocks against quick bowlers and has a solid foundation. It may be a game-changer to use him against pace in the latter half of the inning.
