[Sabs Sports News] Shivam Dube, the hard-hitting all-rounder, has reignited his World Cup selection hopes with a spectacular display of power against Mumbai Indians in the latest IPL match.
Dube’s innings wasn’t just impressive, it was a brutal assault on the bowlers, putting him firmly back in the conversation for a T20 World Cup berth.
Dube’s knock against Mumbai Indians was a masterclass in clean hitting. He faced just 38 deliveries and carved his way to a blistering 66 runs, studded with two sixes and 10 fours. The Mumbai Indians bowlers had no answer to his power, as he dispatched deliveries to all parts of the ground with effortless ease. His innings was a crucial factor in his team posting down a mammoth total of 206 runs and securing a convincing win.
Dube has been a consistent performer in IPL for some time now. His reputation as a big-hitter precedes him, and he has consistently displayed his ability to clear the ropes with ease. However, his international career has yet to take off, with just a handful of appearances to his name.
With the World Cup approaching, the race for spots in the Indian squad is heating up. Dube’s performance against Mumbai Indians serves as a timely reminder of the firepower he brings to the table. His ability to bat provide impetus with the bat, coupled with his handy medium pace bowling, makes him a valuable asset in any team.
