IPL 2024: Shivam Dube proves to be the right contender for T20 World Cup in June?

Whenever Shivam Dube hits a six, the commentators, the media, and the fans are again forced to mention Yuvraj Singh.It is mostly about the bat swing, when it comes to comparisons. The timing; the power of that stroke and also its fluidity as the ball flies deep into stands.

Tonight was yet another of those days when the CSK all-rounder took the matter into his own hands and in only 22 balls scored his second-fastest fifty in IPL history.

But Dube’s destruction of the Gujarat Titans was the perfect showcase for his aggressive batting style, and he emerged a potential asset to India in the coming T20 World Cup. With a deluge of boundaries and towering sixes, Dube’s innings into not only the crowd electric but also pushed his side-enough

Although he came and went quickly, Dube’s hitting barrage left an indelible mark on the game: 2 fours and 5 sixes. His ability to inflict serious damage in a short space of time underlines KKR’s growing status as game changers.

Its his ability to hit sixes that is putting him in an altogether different category from other contenders who are lining up for the seam-bowling all-rounder’s spot behind Hardik Pandya in India’s squad for the T20 World Cup in June.
