CSK vs RCB IPL 2022: Chennai Super Kings placed a lot of trust in Shivam Dube as they indulged in a bidding war to acquire him, and then sent him on to bat at #4 in just the 7th over against Royal Challengers Bangalore. The southpaw repaid the trust as he smacked his highest score in his IPL career. Amidst his innings, he took on RCB bowler Akash Deep and showed 3 types of skills in the same over.

At the start of the 18th over, Dube was batting at 54*(33). Akash Deep came on to bowl for RCB and went for the yorker on the first delivery. Even though he missed his length, the bowler still managed to cramp Dube for room. However, the CSK batter timed it to perfection as he slogged it over long-on with a straight bat. 

On the 2nd delivery of the over, Dube displayed intelligence as he guided a slower short delivery outside off stump past wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik for a four at third-man, who was inside the circle. 

After taking a double on the third delivery, Dube welcomed a high full toss on the 4th delivery and reached out, timed it nicely and smashed it straight over point for a six. 

Earlier, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis won the toss & opted to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings in the 22nd match of IPL 2022. Shivam Dube scored an unbeaten 95 runs in 46 balls while Robin Uthappa smacked 88 runs in 50 balls as these two etched a partnership of 165 runs to take CSK to a humongous total of 216/4 in 20 overs. For RCB, Josh Hazlewood & Wanindu Hasaranga picked up 2 wickets each. This match is being played at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai.

In five innings so far, @IamShivamDube missed a fifty by a whisker and now a ton. Some really good hitting by young man. #CSKvsRCB #RCBvCSK
