Shivam Dubey can be Hardik Pandya’s replacement: After his excellent performance in the Mohali T20I against Afghanistan, Shivam Dubey has raised his chances of becoming the backup to Hardik Pandya in the T20 World Cup 2024. Here Shivam Dubey showed his talent with bat and ball, due to which he can be included in the team in the absence of Hardik.
Which affects both batting and bowling along with excellent fielding. Finding a suitable replacement for him has been a challenge for the team management. Players like Shardul Thakur, Venkatesh Iyer and Shivam Dubey have been given a chance to prove themselves as Pandya’s backup.
In the recent T20 International match against Afghanistan, Shivam Dube showcased his skills and seized the opportunity to make a significant impact. Not only did he contribute with the ball by taking a crucial wicket and conceding only 9 runs in two overs, but he also played a remarkable inning, scoring 60 runs off 40 balls to lead the team to victory. And his all-round performance earned him the Player of the Match award, due to which he may also get a chance in T20 World Cup 2024.
While Dube has shown promise, there are aspects of his game that need improvement. Specifically, he needs to enhance his bowling to provide a reliable sixth bowling option for the captain. While he may not match the pace of Hardik Pandya, delivering economical overs can prove beneficial for the team. Additionally, there is a need to focus on fielding, as Dube showed some weaknesses in this department during the Mohali T20I.
Hardik Pandya excels in all three facets of cricket, setting a high standard. If Shivam Dube works on refining his bowling skills and improves his fielding performance, he has a strong opportunity to secure a place as a solid backup for Hardik Pandya in the T20 World Cup 2024.
