Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Shivam Dube played a vital, high-impact cameo to ensure India completed their record-breaking chase against New Zealand in the second T20I. After Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav had built a massive 122-run partnership, Dube arrived at the crease and maintained the required run rate pressure with aggressive stroke play.
Dube smashed 36 runs off just 18 deliveries, featuring several huge sixes, complementing the anchor role taken up by captain Suryakumar Yadav. His ability to hit boundaries immediately upon arrival allowed India to wrap up the chase of 209 in just 15.2 overs, securing a comprehensive seven-wicket victory and demonstrating his value as a reliable finisher in the middle order ahead of the upcoming IPL season.

It's always good, someone like Shivam, Hardik and some days Abhishek Sharma chipping in one or two overs. It's always a big boost. Hardik has been doing that for India for a very long time. Shivam Dube is doing it recently. So it's a big boost and we're very happy with it.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, the Indian batter who was not favoured in the ODI series against NZ, has snubbed Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and has picked the former Indian wicket-keeper batter MS Dhoni as his cricketing idol.
