Shivam Dube scored a crucial 16-ball 27 in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa.
India all-rounder Shivam Dube had a decent outing for his team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. He recently hailed the support of coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma, which helped him wade through struggles in the early part of the tournament.
Dube, who was preferred in the Indian XI over Rinku Singh, had a minimal effect with the bat in the T20 World Cup, scoring 133 runs in eight games, with a highest score of 34. But when it mattered most, he showed his value. His cameo of 27 from 16 balls in the final against South Africa proved to be crucial to India’s victory.
Reflecting on his experience at the recently concluded event, Dube said, “The World Cup journey taught me a lot. The final was a crucial moment, and I am glad I could contribute to the team’s efforts. Every match in the T20 World Cup was a learning experience, and the support from my teammates and fans kept me motivated. In the end, it’s about giving your best for the team and making every opportunity count.”
Dube came to bat when India were at 103/4 after 13.3 overs in the final match against South Africa. Under duress, the 31-year-old joined Virat Kohli and shared a vital partnership of 57 runs for the fifth wicket, which helped steady the innings and take India to 176 runs.
