T20 World Cup 2026: Don't forget Shivam Dube's contributions - he is as much part of the big picture As the Indian cricket team gears up for the T20 World Cup 2026, there are several players who are expected to make a significant impact. One such player is Shivam Dube, who has been in excellent form with the bat and ball in recent times. Despite his impressive performances, Dube often finds himself in the shadows of bigger names like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. However, it would be unfair to overlook Dube's contributions to the Indian team's success. His ability to hit big shots and also bowl effectively at the death has made him a valuable asset for the team. In fact, his match-winning 64 off just 30 balls against Sri Lanka in the recent T20I series was a testament to his skills. Dube's inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad would be a welcome move by the selectors. His aggressive batting style and ability to take the game away from opponents could prove crucial in the big games. Moreover, his medium-pace bowling could also be an asset for the team, particularly in the latter stages of the innings. India's chances at the T20 World Cup 2026 would certainly improve with Dube included in the squad. His unique skillset and ability to contribute in various ways make him a vital cog in the Indian team's wheel. As the tournament approaches, it is essential to remember that Dube is as much part of the big picture as some of his more prominent teammates. In fact, Dube's inclusion could also have a positive impact on other players in the team. His aggressive approach and ability to take risks could inspire others to do the same, leading to a more attacking brand of cricket. This could be particularly beneficial for India's top-order batsmen, who often struggle against quality pace bowling.

India's Man for Clutch Moments As India prepares to take on Pakistan in the T20 World Cup semi-final, one man who has caught everyone's attention is Shivam Dube. The 28-year-old all-rounder has been a revelation with the bat and ball, rising to the occasion whenever his team needed him most. Dube's journey to becoming India's go-to man for clutch moments began during the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year. Playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, he showed glimpses of his big-hitting prowess, scoring 200-plus runs at a strike rate of over 150. His impressive show in the cash-rich league caught the eye of the national selectors, and soon enough, he was drafted into the Indian team. Since making his international debut against West Indies earlier this year, Dube has scored crucial runs and taken wickets when it mattered most. He has been particularly effective in the Powerplay, where his ability to clear the boundary rope has given India a solid start. Dube's most notable performance so far came during India's Super 12 match against New Zealand. Chasing down a stiff target of 161, India were struggling at 60 for two when Dube walked in. He not only steadied the innings but also took the game away from the Kiwis with an unbeaten 25-ball 46. His batting has been complemented by his impressive bowling. Dube has picked up crucial wickets at crucial junctures, including that of Pakistan's dangerman Fakhar Zaman during their group-stage match. His economy rate has been excellent, and he has shown the ability to bowl dot balls when needed. Dube's rise to fame has also been marked by a calm and composed demeanor on the field. He has shown the ability to stay focused under pressure and has been praised by his teammates...#India #Shivam_Dube #West_Indies #Pakistan #T20_World_Cup #New_Zealand #Fakhar_Zaman #Royal_Challengers_Bangalore
