Mumbai: Shivam Dubey is going through the golden phase of his career. Fans have rarely seen such explosive batting from his bat in the IPL. There is no doubt that Shivam Dubey has been a power hitter since the early days of his career, perhaps this was the reason why Virat Kohli’s RCB bought him for a huge price of Rs 5 crore in 2019 despite being uncapped. He was also selected in Team India, but then came a bad phase of his career. Flopped in both batting and bowling. Soon he was out of the national team. It became difficult to be selected even in the playing eleven in IPL. But now we have Shivam Dubey 2.0 standing in front of us, who was groomed by Dhoni. Bought from Rajasthan and groomed in 2022 mega auction. Gave back lost confidence. Shivam Dubey also gives credit for his success to Dhoni.
Big sixes on spinners
Last night against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium, left-handed batsman Shivam Dubey scored unbeaten 66 runs in 38 balls and played an important role in his team’s 20-run victory. Chennai Super Kings bowling coach Eric Simmons has said that all-rounder Shivam Dubey has the ability to control matches and teams are ‘afraid’ of using spin bowlers against him. Mumbai used seven bowlers, but did not give their spinners a chance to bowl after the eighth over. Dubey faced only one ball from the spinner and that ball was from Shreyas Gopal.

The opposing captain started getting scared
Simmons told reporters after the match, ‘When Dubey comes, the opposing teams remove the spinners and put the pacers on the attack. He became more effective in this, but he did not bowl spin again in the rest of the match because he was at the wicket. It’s about how you control the match and someone like him can control it because they can’t bowl spin anymore. They don’t want to do that. they are afraid. His ability to be effective against fast bowling has become a very advantageous position for him.
