Former India coach Ravi Shastri believes Shivam Dube will be important for India in the T20 World Cup. Dube is known for his powerful hitting and can also bowl a bit. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), he has been smashing runs at a very fast pace, especially hitting many sixes. Ravi Shastri thinks Dube can be a game-changer and a match-winner because of his explosive batting, especially against spin bowlers.
Shastri pointed out that Dube has improved his batting against fast bowlers too. He thinks Dube is crucial for India, especially batting at number five or six, as he can quickly change the game’s momentum. India’s top-order batsmen, like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, have been a bit slow, so having someone like Dube in the middle can boost India’s chances.
“Dube’s power hitting could change T20 games.”
Shastri is also optimistic about Yashasvi Jaiswal, who opens the batting, and believes having Dube in the middle order can help India score big totals, which are important in tournaments like the World Cup.
Suryakumar Yadav’s recent performance has also boosted India’s confidence. He scored a century in just 51 balls for his IPL team, the Mumbai Indians. Suryakumar, who is currently the top-ranked batsman in T20 internationals, is playing after recovering from an injury.
In simple words, Shastri thinks Dube’s big hitting can be a game-changer for India in the T20 World Cup. He can quickly turn the game around with his aggressive batting, especially against spin bowlers. Having him in the middle order can help India score high totals, which are crucial in tournaments. Additionally, the recent form of players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Suryakumar Yadav is adding to India’s confidence ahead of the World Cup.
