In his video, Aakash Chopra said, “I am sure it will be impossible for you not to take him for the World Cup. How can you not take that? Consider the way he is batting. Many people say that the role has a definition and is given freedom. “Whoever wants can get the freedom and show if he can hit sixes consistently.”
The former opening batsman further said, “Everyone who played in this match, including Andre Russell, felt that it is very difficult to hit sixes on this pitch and it is a very big ground. There was nothing like this for Shivam Dubey. He picks the right balls and hits them. He also hits the fast bowlers in the stands, he is forcing the selectors to pick him for the World Cup.”
Dubey hit three sixes and one four during his 28-run innings. The left-handed batsman is the leading run-scorer for CSK in IPL 2024 so far, with 176 runs in five innings at an impressive strike rate of 160.00.
