A civil engineer by qualification, Gurbani broke into Vidarbha's Ranji Trophy team in the 2016-17 season, on the back of solid performances in the state's Under-19 and Under-23 tournaments. He showed potential early, following up his debut with back-to-back four-wicket hauls against Saurashtra and Delhi.
He was Vidarbha's go-to man, on the road to their maiden Ranji Trophy final, snaring five five-wicket hauls starting from their last group-stage game. He stunned Kerala with four wickets in as many overs in the quarter-final, which sent them hurtling to a 412-run defeat.
He followed up with five-fors in each innings of the semi-final against the favourites Karnataka. That included a career-best 7 for 68 in a dramatic finish on the final morning as Vidarbha won by five runs. The dream run extended into the final against Delhi: Gurbani took a hat-trick on the second morning, becoming only the second bowler to register one in a Ranji final.
'Still lot of cricket left in me'
Talking to Lokmat Times Gurbani has expressed gratitude towards VCA for giving him an opportunity to serve them as a cricketer for past over nine years. " Having won the Ranji Trophy and Irani trophy titles for Vidarbha twice, taking a hat-trick for VCA in the Ranji trophy finals and being a member of this amazing team has been the best memory till date", he said.
About his future plans he said, " I feel there is a lot of cricket left in me and my services can be better utilised by other teams around the country. Therefore, I have decided to play for Maharashtra".
About his experiences with Vidarbha team he said, " Playing and sharing the dressing room with legends of the game- Faiz Fazal, Wasim Jaffer Sir and Umesh Yadav has been very special for me. I have learnt a lot under their guidance and their hard work and dedication has always inspired me a lot. I would also like to thank the entire VCA team members who are also my dear friends for always believing in me and having a positive and friendly environment on and off the field."
