‘Shivam Dube RCB ko le doobe’- Twitter can’t believe as Shivam Dube smashes 52 off 27 against RCB in IPL encounter
CSK posted a monumental 226 on the back of Dube’s knock.
Shivam Dube’s innings in the IPL match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore was nothing short of sensational. The left-handed batter scored a quick-fire half-century in just 25 balls, setting the tone for CSK’s innings. His innings was filled with aggressive strokeplay, as he hit six fours and four sixes.
Dube’s love affair with RCB continued as he played a match-winning innings against them for the second time in as many seasons. In the previous edition of the IPL, Dube had remained unbeaten on 95 runs off 46 balls against RCB to guide his side to a crucial 23-run victory. His performance had earned him the Player of the Match award.
Before this innings, Dube had struggled for form in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League. He had scored just 83 runs in the first four matches of the season, with a high score of 35. However, he hit his stride against RCB, scoring his fourth fifty in the competition. His innings was crucial in helping CSK set a monumental total of 226/6 in 20 overs.
Dube’s innings was a perfect example of aggressive batting. He took the attack to the RCB bowlers right from the start and never let up. His sixes were particularly impressive, as he cleared the boundary with ease. He was particularly severe on Harshal Patel, hitting him for three consecutive sixes in one over.
Dube’s innings was also important in the context of the match. CSK had got off to a slow start, with in-form opener Ruturaj Gaikwad getting out early. However, Dube’s innings turned the tide of the game and set CSK on their way to a huge total. Along with Devon Conway and Ajinkya Rahane, he stitched together a 74-run stand, which took the game away from RCB.
Shivam Dube’s innings was a masterclass in aggressive batting. He showed his class and ability to take on the best bowlers in the world. His innings was crucial in helping CSK set a monumental total, which proved too much for RCB to chase down. If Dube can continue this form, he could play a crucial role in CSK’s campaign in the rest of the IPL season.
