The all-rounder was earlier dropped by Rujal Bhatt at slips but went on to make the most of that opportunity after his side got off to a poor start as they reduced to 74/5 at one stage. Dubey’s innings which came off 128 balls had eight fours and six huge sixes as he had partnerships with Siddesh Lad and captain Dhawal Kulkarni. Left-arm medium pace bowler Arzan Nagwaswalla was the best for Gujarat with figures of 5/78.
