Industrious, relentless, and possessing a tireless work ethic, Anubhav Agarwal is a vital component of Madhya Pradesh’s robust pace-bowling arsenal. Born on October 31, 1996, in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, Agarwal has steadily forged his reputation as a disciplined right-arm medium-fast bowler capable of hitting probing lengths and absorbing pressure through long, economic spells.
Working his way through the demanding system of central domestic cricket, Agarwal earned his breakthroughs in multi-day and limited-overs fixtures for Madhya Pradesh. The watershed moment of Agarwal's career arrived during the historic 2021/22 Ranji Trophy campaign, where he emerged as a crucial strike weapon for Madhya Pradesh. He claimed 12 wickets in just four matches at a stunning average, including a devastating five-wicket haul of 5/38 against Meghalaya. In the grand final against Mumbai, his lethal spell of 3/11 in the second innings blew open the contest and handed Madhya Pradesh their first-ever Ranji title, etching his name into state cricketing folklore.
In franchise white-ball circuits, Agarwal has also showcased his multi-format utility. In the Madhya Pradesh League (MPL), he featured prominently for sides like the Jabalpur Royal Lions and Gwalior Cheetahs, shouldering responsibility in high-intensity powerplay and death-overs scenarios.
Entering the late 2026 domestic blocks, Agarwal's persistent domestic output was further underscored when he retained his place in Madhya Pradesh's formidable 17-member squad for the 2026–27 Ranji Trophy season. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with a pace attack featuring established names like Kuldeep Sen and Avesh Khan, Agarwal continues to typify the rugged depth and competitive edge of Madhya Pradesh cricket.
