CSK vs KKR IPL 2024 : MS Dhoni is no longer CSK captain. This time Ruturaj Gaikwad has been given this responsibility. Even under his captaincy, the Chennai Super Kings team is performing well. Not only this, the team has also remained in the top 4 continuously. Meanwhile, Shivam Dubey also has a big role in the kind of game the team is showing and winning the matches. He is batting excellently at the moment. Now Shivam Dubey has left behind even Virat Kohli, the former captain of Team India and playing for RCB. In this way, he has once again staked his claim to return to Team India.
Shivam Dubey has scored 176 runs after playing 5 matches.
Shivam Dubey has played full 5 matches for his team in this year’s IPL. During this period he has scored 176 runs. His average is 44 and he is batting at a strike rate of 160. Meanwhile, 13 sixes have come from his bat so far. He has come sixth in the list of batsmen who have hit the most sixes this year. In the match played against KKR at Chennai ground on Monday, he hit 3 sixes during his innings. With this he has gone ahead of Virat Kohli.
Heinrich Klaasen hit the most sixes this year
The batsman who has hit the most sixes in this year’s IPL is Heinrich Klaasen, who has hit 17 sixes. Abhishek Sharma has hit the maximum number of sixes among Indian players, he has 15 sixes in his name. Although he is an uncapped player, that is, he has not been able to play international cricket yet. But if we talk about the players who have played for the Indian team, Shivam Dubey comes first.
Kohli has hit 12 sixes so far in this year’s IPL.
Even though Virat Kohli has scored 316 runs in 5 matches so far, he is at the first position in terms of scoring the most runs. But now Shivam Dubey has gone ahead of Kohli in terms of sixes. Kohli has hit only 12 sixes so far. That means, by hitting 3 sixes against KKR, he has gone ahead of Kohli.
Such has been Shivam’s performance for Team India.
Shivam Dubey has played 21 T20 International matches for India so far and during this period he has not been very successful. He has scored 276 runs at an average of 39.43. His strike rate has been 145.26. Although he has 3 half-centuries in his name, he could not play for Team India after this. He played his first T20 International match in November 2019, after which he played his last match in January 2024. Now the question is whether Dubey’s name will be discussed or not when the selectors of the Indian team sit to select the Indian team for the T20 World Cup. Whether he will be elected or not is a different matter, but his name should definitely be considered. It is possible that he may also be selected in the squad.
