Meet Amit Shukla, The Services Spinner Who Turned The Ranji Match Around

Services have secured the services of the 22 year old left arm spinner Amit Shukla to feature in the 2025/26 Ranji Trophy. The scenario of his exceptional performance at the eighth match of first class cricket may have created the backdrop for Shukla, who scalped 8 wickets for only 27 runs in a splendid spell of 20 overs that consisted of a remarkable 5 wicket haul with a concession of just one run. The 8 maiden overs he bowled were extremely helpful for his team, as they could limit a rather strong batting line up of Haryana to a meager 111 runs, thus granting Services a significant advantage.

What is surprising is that Shukla’s initial success is a result of a meticulously planned strategy. His youth has not been a barrier to him in any way, and he has already shown that he has the potential to be the match winner with his bowling spells. Prior to this, he had a record of 7 for 65 in his first game. The occasion where he claimed 8 wickets last not only marked the new record but also attracted him to the IPL 2026 auction just before it took place. Experts opine that his control, patience, and pressure building are already more advanced than what his age would imply.
