Watch: Shivam Dube brings up attacking hundred in Ranji Trophy for Mumbai
Shivam Dube, who was the Player of the Series in the recently concluded three-match T20I series against Afghanistan, has carried his form in the red-ball as he scored his third first-class century for Mumbai against Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy. He came out to bat when Mumbai was 67/5 and played a wonderful knock alongside Shams Mulani to take Mumbai past the 230 mark. Dube has been in red-hot form in recent times.
Shivam Dube completed his century in 110 balls and maintained a good strike rate during his innings. He took his team out of trouble and now Mumbai has a lead of over 100 runs against Uttar Pradesh in the first-class encounter. Shivam Dube recently showed the world his prowess against Afghanistan as he smashed consecutive half-centuries in the first two encounters against Afghanistan in the three-match series.
Shivam Dube is one of the contenders to be in the Indian team for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 which is set to commence on June 1 and will be hosted jointly by the West Indies and the United States of America (USA). If everything goes right for the batting all-rounder in the IPL 2024, then he can be included in the T20 World Cup in the US and the Caribbean Islands.
Shivam Dube smashed his third first-class century against Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy and it came in just 110 balls when Mumbai was struggling at 67/5. Mumbai is at the top of the Elite Group B winning three matches out of three. Uttar Pradesh is fifth as they have drawn all the three games they have played in the competition.
