CSK's Shivam Dube Overcomes Fear to Deliver Match-Winning All-Round Impact in Asia Cup Final

Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Shivam Dube delivered a crucial all-round performance in the Asia Cup final against Pakistan, stepping up to fill the void left by the injured Hardik Pandya. Dube was tasked with opening the bowling, a role he admitted was initially intimidating, but he managed to concede only 12 runs in his first two overs, providing essential control early on.

With the bat, Dube’s quickfire 33 runs off 22 balls proved priceless in stabilizing the chase alongside Tilak Varma, ensuring India reached the target with two balls to spare. Dube, who was named the Impact Player of the match inside the dressing room, thanked head coach Gautam Gambhir for showing faith in his abilities, demonstrating his growing maturity as a reliable multi-utility player.
