Early Life
Dube grew up in the Mumbai suburb of Andheri, where his father, Rajesh Dube, ran a business and built a practice pitch for him. At 14 he gave up cricket for about five years because of his family’s financial troubles and his own weight. He returned at 19, lost weight and worked his way through Mumbai’s club cricket.
Career
He made his first-class debut for Mumbai in 2017. In December 2018 he hit five sixes in an over against Baroda in the Ranji Trophy, the day before the IPL auction, and Royal Challengers Bangalore bought him for ₹5 crore. He made his India debut against Bangladesh in November 2019, but modest returns saw him dropped after a year.
Chennai bought him in 2022 and gave him a clear role: attack the spinners in the middle overs. He scored 418 runs with 35 sixes as the team won the IPL in 2023, and he repeated that form in 2024.
Recalled to the Indian side, Dube was Player of the Series against Afghanistan in January 2024 and played every match of the T20 World Cup. In the final against South Africa he scored 27 off 16 balls. He was also part of the team that won the 2025 Asia Cup.
Personal Life
Dube married Anjum Khan in July 2021. They have a son, Ayaan, and a daughter, Mehwish.
