NEW DELHI: Indian all-rounder Shivam Dube has received accolades from Chennai Super Kings head coach and former captain of New Zealand, Stephen Fleming, for his commitment to honing his bowling technique throughout the 2024 Indian Premier League season. As a member of India’s T20 World Cup team, Dube may be indispensable with the ball in certain situations.

Dube bowled often against Afghanistan in the home series, although he bowled just one over in the IPL season.
But in the most recent warm-up match against Bangladesh, Dube bowled three overs and his bowling came back into focus. His bowling technique may be useful on the slow, low lanes typical of the Caribbean.
Fleming talked on Dube’s improvement as a bowler as well as the effect of the IPL’s impact player rule.
“He sounds like Kapil Dev if his bowling is any indication. He has put in a lot of effort at work. He put a lot of effort into his IPL job. We had several players that were capable of playing every position, and once more
In 21 Twenty20 Internationals, Dube has claimed eight wickets at an economy rate of 9.86 and an average of 45.

“He has been practicing his bowling, and his loads are up.” In the proper circumstances, which you’d say would be a little bit sluggish, where his cutters and change of speed may play a factor, he can be awkward [to face]. He has put in a lot of work and is capable of carrying out a role and a job, Fleming continued.

Despite these low stats, Team India may benefit from his towering stature and moderate speed during the T20 World Cup. If they choose to use three spinners, the club could need to use players other than the primary bowling attack to get overs.
“He has been bowling and has filled his loads.” When the going becomes sluggish, which is when you’d say he may be awkward [to face], he can be effective with his cutters and change of pace. He has put a lot of effort into it and is capable of carrying out a role and a job,” Fleming continued.
Dube’s inclusion in the starting lineup for Team India’s T20 World Cup match against Ireland in New York on Wednesday continues to be a topic of discussion. His abilities with the bat and the ball might be crucial to India’s success in the T20 World Cup.
