Shivam Dube has been nothing short of a revelation in T20 cricket for Chennai Super Kings. His six-hitting ability is said to be second to none, in the ongoing IPL 2024.
Dube has dominated the middle overs, ever since he made his transfer to the Chennai Super Kings. He has been hitting spinners to and over the boundary ropes, at will.
Dube has been recommended by many critics and former cricketers, to be a part of India's ICC T20 World Cup 2024 squad. With the tournament being scheduled in the West Indies and USA, Dube is certainly in with a shout of making the squad, thanks to his special ability against spin.
The slow pitches of the West Indies could be best-suited for India's explosive southpaw, given that it is almost sure spin will play a huge part at the World Cup.
Wickets that generate little pace, like that in the Carribean, could work in Dube's, and India's favour at the upcoming T20I World Cup.

What is Shivam Dube's record against spin in IPL?
Out of the 10 sixes that Shivam Dube has hit in IPL 2024, five sixes have been hit against spinners. He has been over-aggressive towards the spinners, more so towards the slow left-arm bowlers.
This can be seen more glaringly in his strike rate against spin since IPL 2023. From last year, Dube's strike rate against spinners is a whopping 177!
His ball-striking has earned praise from former cricketers like Yuvraj Singh, Akash Chopra, and Irfan Pathan for his hitting ability against spinners.
