Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for T20 World Cup 2024. It is noteworthy that this time this tournament is starting from June 2 and will be played jointly hosted by West Indies and USA. So the Indian team has announced a 15-member team for this multinational tournament on 30th April.

All-rounder Shivam Dube has been included in this team for the first time, who is performing amazingly for the five-time champion Chennai Super Kings in the ongoing IPL 2024. Batting in the middle order for the team, he has scored a total of 350 runs in 10 matches with the help of 3 half-centuries. During this period, Dubey’s strike rate has been 171.56.

Also, he is currently at third position in terms of hitting most sixes in the tournament. The ability to play big shots against spin bowlers makes Dubey a special batsman. So now a big statement from former all-rounder player Irfan Pathan, who was a part of the 2007 T20 World Cup winning Indian team, regarding Shivam Dubey has come out. Pathan says that Dubey will definitely bowl when the time comes.

Irfan Pathan gave a big statement regarding Shivam Dubey

Let us tell you that regarding the selection of Shivam Dubey in the Indian T20 World Cup 2024, Irfan said – Shivam Dubey has been selected because he can give you 1 or 2 overs by bowling. He has been bowling regularly in the nets for Chennai Super Kings.

He did not get a chance to bowl due to the Impact Player rule. He is capable of bowling in the match and when the time comes and is needed, he can bowl at least 1 or 2 overs for Team India.

Irfan further said- As far as his hard-hitting batting is concerned, I am really looking forward to the match of Chennai Super Kings against Sunrisers Hyderabad. I want to see what kind of batting he is going to do against Pat Cummins.

I know Cummins will bowl to him outside the off stump, but I also wanted to see how Shivam would counter him. Because he will also be seen batting against Pat Cummins in the T20 World Cup.
