Dubey has made his place in the T20 World Cup team: Gavaskar – Dainik Savera Times

Shivam Dubey’s tremendous performance in the T20 series against Afghanistan not only secured the win for India but also established them as a strong contender for the T20 World Cup 2024. Hardik Pandya’s fitness remains a matter of concern.

Meanwhile, Shivam Dubey’s consistent and impressive performance has become a topic of discussion among cricket fans and experts. Gavaskar stressed that Shivam Dube’s performances have made it challenging for the selectors to consider dropping him, even if Pandya is fit.

Gavaskar said, ‘We are talking about him. What if Hardik is unfit?’, I think what he is doing is making sure that even if Hardik is fit, he can make his place in the World Cup squad. If you perform like this then it will be very difficult for anyone to keep you out.

If the selectors decide to drop him, it will be a really difficult decision for them. Dubey’s unbeaten 60 in Mohali not only showcased his batting ability but also highlighted his contributions with the ball, helping India win by six wickets.

His impressive figures of 1-9 from two overs reflected his all-round talent. The momentum continued in Indore, where Dubey’s explosive inning of 63 not out from 32 balls gave India a 2-0 lead in the series. Gavaskar praised Dubey’s new talent at the international level.

Praised his confidence and said that this all-rounder has earned the respect of his teammates. Gavaskar said, ‘I think he is much more comfortable about his game. He knows his game better. He’s not trying to copy anyone anymore.
