Fans on Twitter reacted after India batter Shivam Dube failed to set the stage on fire in the ongoing game against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024. The game between the two arch-rivals is underway at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

Shivam Dube, who was included in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2024 over Rinku Singh, looked absolutely clueless on the field with the bat in the ongoing game against Pakistan at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

Shivam Dube came to bat after India lost Suryakumar Yadav for 7 runs in the 12th over of the game. It was expected that the batter would take up the responsibility and take his team to the fighting total, bailing them out of trouble, especially after four early wickets.

However, this wasn’t the case as Shivam Dube too bagged a failure and India was left in totters. The all-rounder, who looked in magnificent tough in the first phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Chennai Super Kings perished to Naseem Shah on the second ball of the 12th over.

Naseem Shah bowled a length ball that jumped a big and hit Shivam Dube high in the bat. The ball lobbed up and went to the left of the Naseem Shah, who took an easy catch to take his third wicket in the game against India.

Shivam Dube didn’t look at his fluent best as he managed just 3 runs off 9 balls. He has been struggling to get going with the bat since the latter half of the IPL 2024. His scores since May 2024 read 0, 0, 21, 18, 7, 14, 0* and 3.

After the wicket of Shivam Dube, India was left tottering at 95/5 and after his wicket, nothing went in the favour of the Rohit Sharma-led side. They lost wickets and got all out for just 119 runs at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
