Shubham Ranjane

Shubham Ranjane is a seasoned right-handed all-rounder who carries forward a prestigious three-generation cricketing legacy. Born on March 26, 1994, in Pune, India, he is the grandson of former Indian Test bowler Vasant Ranjane and the son of former first-class cricketer Subhash Ranjane. Shubham spent a decade navigating the ultra-competitive Mumbai domestic circuit, where he earned a reputation for the trademark 'Khadoos' (grit and determination) style of play. A middle-order batter and right-arm medium-fast bowler, he was part of the Rajasthan Royals squad in the 2019 IPL and represented Goa and Mumbai before moving to the United States in 2022 to pursue new opportunities in Major League Cricket (MLC).

As of late January 2026, Ranjane is a headline selection in the United States' 15-man squad for the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. His transition to international cricket has been swift; he made a high-impact ODI debut for the USA against Nepal in October 2025, taking 2/32 and anchoring a crucial partnership. Now, he is poised to make his T20I debut on the world stage, with the added sentiment of facing his former Mumbai teammate and 'elder brother' Suryakumar Yadav in the USA's opening match against India at the Wankhede Stadium. His recent form has been sharpened by a successful stint with the Joburg Super Kings in the SA20, where he emerged as a versatile finisher. Heading into the World Cup, Ranjane’s blend of Mumbai-bred technical discipline and modern franchise experience makes him a vital 'x-factor' for the American side.
