When IPL 2024 started, Shivam Dubey performed so well with his bat that seeing him, he got a place in the T20 World Cup team. He looked in excellent form in the first few matches and was continuously playing match-winning innings for the team. Seeing his performance, his place in the playing XI of the T20 World Cup was also considered confirmed.

But ever since the T20 World Cup team was selected, Dubey’s performance has declined so much that looking at him, it seems as if now even the selectors are regretting which player they selected in the team. Now you may also be wondering why we are saying this, so let us explain to you through statistics. Since the team selection, it seems as if his bat has become angry with him.

Shivam Dubey’s performance before and after being selected for the T20 World Cup.

He was seen unraveling the threads of spinners and pacers. It was for this reason that he was selected, but since his selection his bat has become silent. There has been a terrible decline in Shivam Dubey’s strike rate and average.

Since his selection in the T20 World Cup team, Dubey has played five matches, in two innings of which he could not open the account, while in the next three innings he could not score 30 plus runs even once.

At the same time, the strike rate has remained at 112.2. These figures of his are a matter of concern for Team India.
