Amandeep Khare has started the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season in strong batting form, emerging as a key contributor for Chhattisgarh across the opening rounds. Cricbuzz’s player statistics list the right-hander with 273 runs from three matches and five innings at an average of 68.25, including three half-centuries and a highest score of 91.
Khare’s recent performances have come at important moments for his side. He made 91 against Punjab and then played a part in Chhattisgarh’s five-wicket victory over Andhra, scoring 89 not out in one innings and 30 in the successful chase. The numbers underline his value as a top-order batter in the state’s red-ball campaign.
A strong opening to the Ranji season
Khare’s 273 runs in the first three matches place him among Chhattisgarh’s leading batting contributors early in the 2026-27 competition. His highest score so far, 91 against Punjab, came from 154 deliveries. India Today’s match profile records 11 fours and one six in that innings, a measured effort built around time at the crease and boundary scoring.
The Cricbuzz season figures list Khare with an average of 68.25 and a strike rate of 49.01. He has scored three fifties but is yet to convert one into a century in the current campaign. The consistency across multiple innings has given Chhattisgarh a dependable presence in the middle order.
Contribution in Chhattisgarh’s win over Andhra
Khare’s role was also significant in Chhattisgarh’s five-wicket win over Andhra in their Elite Group B fixture at the Devineni Venkata Ramana Praneetha Ground in Mulapadu. Chhattisgarh chased a target of 179 and reached 182 for five in 35.1 overs in the second innings.
In the match, Khare made 89 not out in the first innings recorded on Cricbuzz’s player-performance page and added 30 from 40 balls in the second innings. The latter innings included six boundaries. Captain Anuj Tiwary anchored the chase with 60 from 73 balls, while Dev Aditya Singh finished unbeaten on 34 from 25 deliveries.
The result showed the value of contributions across the batting order. Khare’s runs helped Chhattisgarh build a platform, while Tiwary and Dev Aditya Singh ensured the side completed the chase without allowing the target to become a prolonged contest.
A career built through Chhattisgarh cricket
Khare has been associated with Chhattisgarh since the 2016-17 season, when he began his first-class career. CricketArchive lists him as a right-handed batter and right-arm medium-pace bowler. Its career figures through 2025-26 record 4,227 first-class runs in 62 matches, at an average of 50.32, with 17 hundreds and 11 fifties.
Those numbers point to a substantial red-ball body of work. His career-best first-class score in the CricketArchive record is 210, while his List A record includes 2,649 runs in 69 matches. He has also scored 1,760 runs in 60 T20 matches, according to the same database.
Khare’s journey has included significant contributions in difficult match situations. In February 2026, he scored an unbeaten 176 against Hyderabad and shared an unbroken ninth-wicket partnership of 193 with Dev Aditya Singh, helping Chhattisgarh secure a draw after being under pressure in the match. That innings was reported by Telangana Today.
Chhattisgarh will look to build on Khare’s consistency
With 273 runs in his first three matches of the current Ranji season, Khare has given Chhattisgarh a solid batting foundation. His 91 against Punjab and contributions against Andhra show a mix of patience and the ability to score quickly when the situation demands it.
The next challenge will be to turn these starts into bigger scores and maintain the same level of consistency through the longer league schedule. For Chhattisgarh, a productive Khare at the top of the batting order could be central to their hopes of staying competitive in Elite Group B.
