Dikshanshu Negi

Dikshanshu Negi is a genuine all-rounder, combining explosive top-order batting with versatile spin bowling—leg-spin to right-handers and off-spin to left-handers.

A latecomer to the domestic scene, Negi made his Uttarakhand debut just before his 30th birthday, quickly establishing himself as a key contributor. He topped Uttarakhand’s run charts during the 2019/20 Ranji Trophy and went on to shine in the 2020/21 white-ball season, particularly in the Vijay Hazare Trophy where he averaged 42.33 with the bat and 18.90 with the ball. His performances earned him a spot with the Mumbai Indians in the 2021 IPL as a support player.
