🏏 #T20WorldCup Drama: Shivam Dube Likely to Be Dropped!
Hey cricket fans! The countdown for the prestigious T20 World Cup has begun, with the tournament set to kick off in the first week of June. India will play its first match on June 5. The BCCI has already announced the Indian squad, including some players who shined in the IPL. However, some of these players have suddenly lost form, putting their World Cup spots in jeopardy. One such player is Chennai Super Kings' star all-rounder Shivam Dube. Dube was sensational in the first half of IPL 2024, scoring 350 runs at a strike rate of 172.4 in the first 9 matches. However, he managed only 46 runs in the last 5 matches, with a mere 2 sixes compared to the 26 he hit in the first half. His poor performance, especially against spinners, has raised doubts about his place in the World Cup squad.
During the crucial match against RCB, Dube could score only 7 runs off 15 balls, leading to severe criticism. According to the rules, changes can be made to the World Cup squad until May 25. Given his recent form, it is rumored that Dube might be replaced by finisher Rinku Singh from the reserve list. An official announcement is expected soon. Team India for T20 World Cup:
