Shivam Dube powers India’s T20 surge
Shivam Dube has emerged as India’s unexpected game-changer at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, delivering crucial late-order runs during the group stage in the United States and Caribbean this week. The left-hander’s aggressive cameos have strengthened India’s middle order and added firepower in high-pressure moments.
Batting at No.4 and No.5, Dube has struck at a brisk rate, clearing the ropes with ease while stabilizing innings after early setbacks. In India’s recent outing, his quickfire knock shifted momentum decisively. “My role is simple — attack and finish strong,” Dube said after the match.
Captain Rohit Sharma praised his impact, noting, “He gives us that extra push in the middle overs.” A team analyst added that Dube’s ability to dominate spin has “balanced the batting unit,” making him a key weapon as India eyes the knockout stage.
