IPL 2024: Dube Not Ducking Or Defending Against Short Balls Testament To Work Put In Behind The Scenes, Says Hussey

By IANS News March 27, 2024 • 16:44 PM View: 801

Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings batting coach Michael Hussey said all-rounder Shivam Dube no longer ducking or defending while facing short balls from the fast-bowlers is a testament to the work he’s put in behind the scenes to overcome his weakness.

Dube was the top-scorer for CSK in their 63-run win over Gujarat Titans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday evening, smashing two fours and five sixes in a 23-ball 51 coming at a whopping strike rate of 221.74.

He continued to be brutal in his takedown of spinners R Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan, but Dube even scored runs off short balls from fast-bowlers Spencer Johnson and Mohit Sharma, showing that he’s worked hard to overcome his weakness in this aspect.
