NEW DELHI: Since
Yuvraj Singh
's retirement, Team India has been on a quest for a left-arm all-rounder capable of turning matches around, reminiscent of the legendary player's impact in his prime. The search appears to have ended with
Shivam Dube
, who is striving to step into those formidable shoes.
Playing for the Chennai Super Kings, Dube smashed a magnificent 45 runs off just 24 balls against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in an
IPL 2024
encounter.
The dynamic left-hander hammered four sixes and two fours during his innings.
As Dube dominated the Sunrisers' bowlers, Yuvraj took to social media to praise the all-rounder's performance.
"Good to watch Shivam Dube clearing the field with ease !! I feel he has to be in the World Cup squad. Has got the skill to be the #gamechanger #CSKvsSRH #IPLT20," Yuvraj wrote.
In the four matches Dube has played so far in the tournament, he has amassed 148 runs at an impressive average of 49.33 and a strike rate of 160.87.
