'I have not seen bowling like that': Ex-India captain's brutal take on Shivam Dube

Story byTOI Sports DeskSat, February 28, 2026 at 8:59 AM UTC·2 min readIndia may have secured a comfortable win over Zimbabwe, but not everything went perfectly on the night. All-rounder Shivam Dube endured a tough spell with the ball, leaking 46 runs in just two overs as the sixth bowling option. While he has previously delivered handy contributions when captain Suryakumar Yadav has called upon him, this outing was far from ideal. Dube looked short of rhythm and control, struggling to maintain a consistent line and length.

Key Highlights

  • He failed to hit the off-side cut strip regularly and compounded matters with four wides and a couple of no-balls.
  • Thankfully for India, net run rate was no longer a factor in their semi-final equation.
  • Otherwise, such an expensive spell could have created complications. Former India opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth analysed the performance on his show ‘Cheeky Cheeka’, acknowledging that it was a batting-friendly surface but raising concerns over Dube’s accuracy.“I don’t think bowling is a concern.
  • It was a good batting track.
  • My only concern is the sixth bowler.
