A moment of sharp communication and calculated aggression lit up the fourth T20I between India and Australia as Suryakumar Yadav signalled Shivam Dube to go after leg-spinner Adam Zampa — and Dube executed the plan to perfection.
During the previous over, Suryakumar was seen sending Rinku Singh back to the dugout and gesturing towards Dube, seemingly instructing him to target Zampa once he came into the attack. Staying true to his skipper’s call, Dube patiently waited for the next over — and when Zampa floated one wide outside off, Dube unleashed his trademark power.
He leaned into the delivery and sent it soaring straight over the bowler’s head for a massive six, a reminder of why he’s considered one of India’s most dangerous hitters against spin. The hit was so big that the ball reportedly went out of the park, forcing the umpires to bring in a replacement.
The shot reaffirmed Dube’s growing confidence in the top order and showcased Suryakumar’s tactical awareness — a perfect blend of leadership and execution in India’s innings.
