Strange feats keep happening from time to time in Indian domestic cricket. This time the cricketer who did wonders is Amit Shukla, who took 8 wickets in a single innings of the Ranji Trophy match against Haryana. Playing for Services, left-arm off-spin bowler Amit Shukla dismissed 8 batsmen for just 27 runs in 20 overs.
This achievement of Amit Shukla is also special because he had taken 5 wickets in his very first spell. No runs were scored against his bowling until five batsmen were dismissed. This is the best bowling figure of 22 year old Amit’s career.
In this match of Elite Group C, Amit Shukla took 8 wickets, due to which Services all out Haryana’s batsman for just 11 runs. Earlier, Services had scored 205 runs in its first innings. Amit’s 8-wicket performance gave his team a huge lead of 94 runs over Haryana in the first innings. Earlier, Amit Shukla’s best performance in an innings of a first-class match came in November 2024. At that time he had taken 7 wickets for 65 runs in an innings played in Pune.
Amit Shukla had also performed strongly in the match against Gujarat last week. He took four wickets each in both the innings of that match. Despite Amit’s performance of 8 wickets in the match, Services lost to Gujarat by 6 wickets in that match. Let us tell you that Shukla is currently at sixth place in terms of taking most wickets in the Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season. He has taken 23 wickets in the tournament so far.
