Career story

Anshul Kamboj career and playing journey

Who is Anshul Kamboj?

Anshul Kamboj is an Indian seam bowler who represents Haryana in domestic cricket and Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League. He reached the India Test side in July 2025 after progress through junior selection, state cricket, the Duleep Trophy, India A and two IPL franchises. Official IPL records classify him as a bowler, while statistical profiles describe a bowling all-rounder because he has contributed useful first-class runs. His primary senior role remains right-arm fast-medium bowling with the new ball and through other phases of an innings.

A selection, transfer or seasonal roster does not produce another identity. Team pages, completed scorecards and results can all point to this slug once the page reaches its scheduled publication time. That structure also prevents his two Mumbai IPL wickets, eight 2025 Chennai wickets and 21 wickets in 2026 from being assigned to separate copies of the same player.

Anshul Kamboj age, birthplace and playing style

The official IPL profile and auction document give Kamboj's date of birth as 6 December 2000. He was 25 years old on 11 August 2026. Cricbuzz records Karnal, Haryana, as his birthplace, while reporting on his development connects his family with Fazilpur village and later residence in Karnal. These descriptions are compatible: the reliable public record places his cricket upbringing in Haryana without requiring a more precise private address.

Kamboj bats right-handed and bowls right-arm fast-medium. The IPL describes an ability to move the ball both ways, a high-arm action and seam control even when the pitch offers little help. Those are sourced descriptions rather than a claim that every delivery swings. His results cover different demands: long red-ball spells, new-ball List A work and high-cost death overs in the IPL. Current team classification uses Bowler because that best describes his selection role.

Family support and early cricket in Karnal

The New Indian Express identifies Kamboj's father as Udham Singh, a farmer from Fazilpur. The report says Udham travelled roughly 80 kilometres each day for several years so his son could train at Rana Brothers Academy in Karnal. Anshul began there at about 11, initially with fitness as part of the purpose. Childhood coach Satish Rana recalled early starts and consistent attendance before advising the family to move to Karnal for the player's development.

The same report says Kamboj admired Glenn McGrath's accuracy and tried to build a repeatable, precise method. It also records the family's continued connection to farming after relocation. That is the extent of the family background used here. Reliable reviewed sources do not provide a complete list of siblings, household finances or other private details. The available evidence supports a father, coach, academy and relocation story; it does not justify filling gaps with copied biography claims.

India Under-19 and Haryana pathway

Kamboj appeared in BCCI junior selection before his senior domestic breakthrough. In February 2019, the board named him in the India Under-19 squad for four-day matches against South Africa Under-19. BCCI also listed him for an Under-19 zonal camp. These notices establish that national selectors had placed the Haryana seamer in a structured development pathway, although a squad selection should not be confused with a senior India cap or an international record.

He made his first-class debut for Haryana against Tripura in February 2022, according to the established career record. Limited-overs opportunities followed. Haryana then won the 2023-24 Vijay Hazare Trophy, with Kamboj taking 17 wickets in ten matches. The achievement combined team success with a meaningful bowling return rather than a single isolated performance. His domestic rise therefore began before the better-known ten-wicket innings and supplied the evidence that led to Duleep Trophy and India A selection.

Haryana's Vijay Hazare Trophy title

The 2023-24 Vijay Hazare Trophy gave Kamboj a complete white-ball campaign. Cricbuzz's career summary records 17 wickets in ten matches as Haryana won the competition. In the semi-final against Tamil Nadu, his 4 for 30 helped defend the total and take Haryana into the final. That tournament matters because it demonstrates repeat performance across a season, not merely the attention created by one record spell in red-ball cricket.

List A bowling asks for control across a ten-over allocation and often requires a player to work with field restrictions, an older ball and set batters. Kamboj's season showed he could contribute within those constraints. The title also expanded his selection case: Mumbai Indians recruited him for IPL 2024, and India C later used him in the Duleep Trophy. This profile keeps the 17-wicket Vijay Hazare return separate from first-class and IPL figures so no competition is double counted.

Leading wicket-taker in the 2024 Duleep Trophy

BCCI selected Kamboj for Ruturaj Gaikwad's India C squad in the 2024-25 Duleep Trophy. The completed tournament table records 16 wickets in three matches at an average of 17.13, including one five-wicket innings. That placed him first on the wicket list, one ahead of Mukesh Kumar and two ahead of Navdeep Saini. The ranking gives context to the total and shows that his red-ball form held across the short competition.

A Duleep Trophy lead does not itself guarantee an India cap, but it strengthened Kamboj's case against high-level domestic opposition. He later entered India A squads, the Emerging Teams Asia Cup group and the Rest of India selection. Those selections show a progression from state cricket into national second-team and representative environments. The profile names the exact competition and sample rather than describing him vaguely as a domestic sensation, which would hide the three-match scale behind the 16-wicket figure.

Historic 10 for 49 in the Ranji Trophy

Kamboj's defining domestic record came for Haryana against Kerala at Rohtak in November 2024. He took every wicket in Kerala's first innings and finished with 10 for 49. Hindustan Times records that he began the third day with eight, bowled Basil Thampi for the ninth and had Shoun Roger caught for the tenth. Kerala were dismissed for 291. The figures also surpassed Joginder Sharma's previous best innings return for Haryana.

He became only the third bowler to take all ten wickets in a Ranji Trophy innings, following Premangsu Chatterjee and Pradeep Sunderam. That wording is important. Several other Indians have taken ten wickets in a first-class innings outside the Ranji Trophy, while only three bowlers have done so in a men's Test innings. Kamboj's achievement belongs specifically to the Ranji record. It is exceptional without being incorrectly presented as the third ten-wicket innings in all first-class cricket.

Mumbai Indians debut and move to Chennai Super Kings

Mumbai Indians gave Kamboj his IPL debut in 2024. The official IPL biography records three matches and two wickets in that first season. It was a limited introduction rather than a breakthrough campaign, but it exposed him to franchise preparation and elite T20 batting. After the Duleep and Ranji performances, Chennai Super Kings bought him at the 2025 auction amid a bidding contest.

The official IPL profile gives the Chennai price as ₹3.40 crore. The figure is an auction or league value, not proof of take-home pay and not a net-worth estimate. For CSK in 2025 he played eight matches and took eight wickets at 21.50, with best figures of 3 for 13. The league retained him for 2026 at the same published deduction of ₹3.40 crore.

India A tour and Test call-up

BCCI named Kamboj in the India A squad for two first-class matches against England Lions in May and June 2025. The selection was a direct preparation route for English red-ball conditions. The New Indian Express reports that he took five wickets across the two matches and scored an unbeaten 51 in the second, then his highest first-class score. That all-round contribution added evidence beyond the headline Ranji spell.

Injuries created an opening during India's Test series in England. ICC reported three changes for the fourth Test at Manchester, including Kamboj's international debut. He received his cap on 23 July 2025 at Old Trafford. The step followed a clear sequence: Haryana title, Duleep wicket lead, ten-wicket Ranji innings, India A tour and then the Test team. It was not a debut based only on an IPL auction price.

Anshul Kamboj's Test debut against England

Kamboj's only Test in the checked record was the drawn fourth match against England from 23 to 27 July 2025. He was dismissed for zero in India's first innings and did not bat in the second. With the ball, he delivered 18 overs, one maiden, conceded 89 runs and took one wicket. His maiden Test wicket was Ben Duckett, caught behind for 94 after the opener edged a cut to Dhruv Jurel.

The complete scorecard prevents the debut from being inflated. Taking Duckett was a notable first international wicket, but England made 669 and Kamboj's economy rate was 4.94 runs per over. India saved the match through second-innings hundreds from Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja. A one-match Test sample cannot establish a long-term average or role. Future updates should add only confirmed appearances and keep the Manchester figures as a dated snapshot.

Anshul Kamboj in IPL 2026

Kamboj became Chennai's leading wicket-taker in IPL 2026, finishing with 21 wickets from 14 matches. His season included 2 for 43 against Punjab Kings, the wicket of Virat Kohli against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, 3 for 35 against Delhi Capitals and 3 for 22 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Against Mumbai Indians at Chepauk, he took 3 for 28 and removed Hardik Pandya during a late collapse as Chennai won by eight wickets.

The season also included expensive spells, which belong in an accurate account. He conceded 63 without a wicket in the later Lucknow match and 57 for one against Gujarat Titans. Across the tournament, 21 wickets came at an economy rate a little above ten runs per over. The combination shows high wicket output and significant run cost, especially in difficult phases. Calling him Chennai's leading wicket-taker is supported; calling the season uniformly economical would not be.

IPL career stats and bowling role

Through Chennai's final league match on 21 May 2026, Kamboj had played 25 IPL matches and taken 31 wickets: two for Mumbai in 2024, eight for Chennai in 2025 and 21 for Chennai in 2026. His best official season figure before 2026 was 3 for 13, while the 2026 match reports include three-wicket returns against Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai. These are competition totals and should not be combined with Haryana or India wickets.

His role changed with opportunity. Three matches for Mumbai provided a narrow sample; eight Chennai appearances in 2025 established a regular option; 14 games in 2026 made him a full-season contributor. Official reports show use in the powerplay and at the death, including wickets when batters were attacking. The higher 2026 economy is part of that context, but phase data should come from a licensed feed before a precise death-over split is published.

Anshul Kamboj salary, net worth and relationship status

The financial fact is Kamboj's ₹3.40 crore Chennai Super Kings league value. IPL publishes that number in his official profile and the 2026 playing-squad document records a 340-lakh deduction. It does not reveal taxes, fees, bonuses, endorsements, property or bank assets. No audited filing or direct player disclosure reviewed for this page establishes his net worth, so This profile does not convert the IPL amount into a guessed personal fortune.

The reliable family record identifies his father Udham Singh and childhood coach Satish Rana. The reviewed sources do not confirm a wife, girlfriend or current partner. That absence is not evidence about his private life; it means the information is not available at a standard suitable for publication. The profile therefore answers popular salary and relationship searches with the boundary of the published record rather than repeating claims from unsourced biography sites.

What Anshul Kamboj's records show

Kamboj's strongest record is built across formats. Seventeen wickets helped Haryana win the Vijay Hazare Trophy, 16 led the Duleep Trophy table, and 10 for 49 created a rare Ranji innings record. India A performances preceded his Test cap, and his first international wicket was an established England opener. In the IPL, a two-wicket debut season became eight wickets in 2025 and a team-leading 21 in 2026.

The limitations are equally clear. He has one Test, no checked ODI or T20I appearance, and a debut bowling average of 89. His 2026 IPL wicket count came with an economy rate above ten, while several individual spells were expensive. These facts do not cancel the achievements; they make the page useful for evaluating them. The next update should use official scorecards or a licensed statistics provider and preserve every cutoff date rather than silently replacing totals.
