Playing With MS Dhoni Helped Me, Could See My Performance Get Better - Shivam Dube
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Shivam Dube found a new lease of life playing for CSK in the IPL 2022 season. He had a great time with the bat in hand but left a lot to be desired with his bowling.
Nevertheless, Dube learned a lot while playing under CSK skipper, MS Dhoni. The left-hand batter got to bat alongside the former India captain and also received tips on improving his bowling.
“Playing under MS Dhoni was a great learning experience. He is a role model and mentors to the entire team. Playing with him helped me a lot and I could see my performance get better,” Dube told IANS.
“Whenever I step on the pitch, I try to give my best but sometimes it’s just not your day. There have been instances wherein I have performed very well with the bat but not done well in bowling,” he also acknowledged.
