New Delhi: Shivam Dube has established himself as a regular in Indias T20 squad because of his impressive batting. Now at 32 he is gradually gaining confidence with the ball as well and is prepared to take on the role of a genuine all-rounder. Over the past year Dube has started taking on more bowling responsibility and in the previous match at Dharamsala he picked up one wicket and conceded 21 runs from his three overs. Dube on taking bowling responsibility I have worked a lot in the off-season on my fitness. And when I am with the Indian team I have many conversations with Morne (Morkel). It helps me a lot Dube made the remark while speaking about his bowling on the eve of the fourth T20I against South Africa. T20 is a game where you have to be smart. I was smart when I bowled but I didn’t know when how and what to apply. As soon as Gautam (Gambhir) and (skipper) Surya supported me and told me that I could do it I put myself in that situation. I realised that I can bowl in challenging situations as well he added. Dube also spoke about Suryakumar Yadavs form Dube also expressed confidence that his Mumbai teammate and captain Suryakumar Yadav would find form soon. Hes the kind of player who can win you five out of five matches on his own. So if he is not in form it doesnt mean that he is not a good player. He is one of the best players; no one can do what he can. Yes he is short of runs but his form will return at the right time. He is a fighter. Whether runs are being made or not he remains the same. He is such an innovative and threatening player that he can blast at any moment said Dube.
