T20 World Cup 2024: Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team has performed brilliantly in the T20 World Cup. The team first won its league matches and entered the Super 8 in a great manner and after this, it has continued its winning campaign by defeating Afghanistan in the Super 8. But there is also a tension amidst the joy of victory. The player who was included in the team with a lot of expectations by the BCCI selection committee has turned out to be a dud. We are talking about Shivam Dubey.
Shimav Dubey was playing well in the beginning of IPL
Left-handed batsman Shivam Dubey is getting continuous opportunities in the Indian team, despite this he has not been able to prove his selection right yet. Just a few days ago this year, when the IPL was being played in India, he performed brilliantly in the first few matches while playing for CSK. Perhaps the selectors also felt that this player could prove to be a trump card and he was included in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024. But the T20 World Cup was still far away. After being selected, his bat went silent in the IPL.
Shivam Dubey is no longer scoring runs
After this, he reached America with the team and there was hope that Shivam Dubey would create a stir here, but here too he proved to be a dud. When the first match was played against Ireland in the T20 World Cup, he did not get a chance to bat. After this, in a big and important match against Pakistan, Dubey was out after scoring only three runs. After this, he did score an unbeaten 31 runs against the US, but in the Super 8 against Afghanistan, he could only score 10 runs and returned to the pavilion.
Sanju Samson has to wait outside
Now the T20 World Cup has reached a point where losing even one match means being out of the tournament. Shivam Dubey is playing as an all-rounder in the team, but captain Rohit Sharma is not making him bowl much, despite this Shivam Dubey is not able to focus on his batting. The special thing is that due to Shivam Dubey, Sanju Samson is sitting out of the team because he is not getting a place. In such a situation, it will be seen that for how long captain Rohit and head coach Rahul Dravid will keep giving opportunities to Shivam and he will keep losing.
