Although Team India lost the fourth T20I against New Zealand, one performance stole the spotlight — Shivam Dube’s brutal batting display. The left-handed all-rounder smashed 65 runs off just 23 balls, including seven towering sixes, leaving fans and experts stunned.
Dube reached his half-century in only 15 balls, showcasing one of the most destructive innings of the series. His power-hitting earned him the nickname ‘Daanav’ (Demon) on social media. Even Rajasthan Royals joined the buzz, posting:
“New match, new Daanav.”
After the match in Visakhapatnam, Shivam Dube revealed the secret behind his explosive form. He credited head coach Gautam Gambhir, skipper Suryakumar Yadav, and the team management for backing him and giving him clarity about his role.
‘With Experience, My Game Has Improved’“Because of continuous matches and bowling regularly, my mindset has improved a lot,” Dube said.
Dube explained that he has been given a clear role in the Indian T20 setup — to score quick runs in the middle overs, especially against spin bowling.
Hard Work Behind the Power“The team believes I am strong against spinners, and I believe the same. I plan my batting accordingly and have a clear mindset about how I want to score runs against spin,” he added.
Dube’s performance is being seen as the result of:
-
Consistent match practice
-
Improved fitness and bowling workload
-
Confidence from the coaching staff
-
Clear role definition in the batting order
Despite India’s defeat, Shivam Dube’s innings was one of the biggest positives of the match — and a strong reminder of his value in India’s T20 plans going forward.
