TATA IPL 2024 ‘…so all teams are afraid of Shivam Dubey’, CSK bowling coach made a big claim

Shivam Dube, CSK: Chennai Super Kings’ explosive batsman Shivam Dube remains in the news for his stormy batting. On Sunday, against Mumbai Indians, Dubey played an unbeaten inning of 66 runs in just 38 balls. During this, 10 fours and two sixes came from his bat. Shivam has been batting consistently this season. Meanwhile, the bowling coach of his team Chennai Super Kings has made a big claim about him. 

Chennai Super Kings bowling coach Eric Simmons has said that Shivam Dubey has the ability to control matches. He also said that teams are afraid of using spin bowlers against them. Shivam Dubey is batting dreadfully this season. Dubey has scored 242 runs in 5 matches at an average of 60.50 and strike rate of 163.51. During this period, 20 fours and 15 sixes came from his bat.

Simmons told reporters after the match, “When he (Sivam Dubey) comes in they (opposing teams) remove the spinners (and) they bowl to the fast bowlers. He has become more effective in that, but He didn’t bowl spin the rest of the match because he was on the wicket, it’s about how someone like him can control it, because he can’t bowl like that anymore. They don’t want to do it. They are scared. His ability to be effective against fast bowling has become very beneficial for him.

Might get a chance in T20 World Cup

Seeing the power hitting of Shivam Dubey, many former cricketers are demanding to include him in the 2024 T20 World Cup team. The way Dubey is batting, it is believed that he may get a place in the World Cup team. However, Dubey is not bowling this season. If he had also bowled, his chances of selection in the World Cup team would have increased even more.
