Ian Bishop, the retired West Indies cricketer, acknowledged Shivam Dube’s selection for the Indian T20 World Cup. He made this endorsement after the rookie’s sublime performances in the T20 championships. His immense contribution as a finisher for the CSK team has made him one of the main contenders for the upcoming tournament that will take place in June. Bishop credited Dube’s ability to change a game, saying that he had not only given his best but also lifted the whole team through his impressive performances throughout the season.
Highlighting Dube’s stellar contributions in the IPL, Bishop noted his remarkable batting prowess. Additionally, Dube’s standout performances in the T20I series against Afghanistan, where he clinched the Player of the Series title with two half-centuries in the first two matches, further solidified his credentials.
Bishop was so assured by his choice to pride himself on that he expressed surprise if Dube did not make the cut for the team in the opener of the tournament. Dar filled in the information about Dube’s form and impact, which is seen by the BCCI as a need for him to be included alongside towering players like Rohit and Bumrah.
As his shining performances in the IPL were brought to Ian Bishop’s notice, he was less than impressed with his versatility and game-winning capabilities. He contributed to all of CSK’s line-ups with 350 runs in just 9 matches, striking at 172.41. His performances demonstrated how valuable he was as a complete player. Moreover, some of the big-time goals late in the year might have also been driven by the player to the team’s overall success.
With the World Cup of T20 ahead of us, it has become everybody’s wish for Dube to be like fireworks in IPL in world-level performances as well. A forward who has been in great form and is scoring goals for fun has stepped in and he has propelled the team’s prospects and brought more vibrancy to the side’s performance.
