‘You can win many matches….’ – CSK all-rounder Shivam Dube reveals golden advice from MS Dhoni

India’s star all-rounder Shivam Dube was in terrific form for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. Notably, the star cricketer has emerged as the third-highest scorer for CSK, as he amassed 418 runs in 16 matches at an outstanding average of 38.00 and a strike rate of over 158.

The 30-year-old cricketer showed his ability to score quickly regardless of pressure by scoring a blistering 52 runs off just 27 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore, which stood out as his highest-scoring performance in the recently-concluded IPL.

Notably, the Mumbai-born batter made his T20I debut on November 3 against Bangladesh and has played 13 T20I matches while scoring 105 runs, with his highest run of 54, and picking up 5 wickets. In addition, the great all-rounder was last seen in action on February 2, 2020, against New Zealand in Blue Jersey.

Many things are there but cannot express all the things: Shivam Dube

The left-handed batter has been called up for the upcoming Asian Games and T20I series against Ireland owing to his remarkable stint with the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings. Speaking on the same subject, the Indian cricketer expressed his happiness and revealed how cricket legend MS Dhoni helped him upgrade his game. The star batter shared that he had learned to finish games, tackle bowlers, and face tough situations under the captaincy of the former India skipper.

“I cannot express all the things (that Dhoni helped me with). I have upgraded my game. I got to know how to finish the game, how to be in the situation, how to tackle the bowlers, that all things are more important and many things are there but cannot express all the things,” Dube said, as quoted by Hindustan Times.

The CSK batter further shared the golden advice that he had received from MS Dhoni. “But, I definitely got some big tips. He told me to play till the end and try to finish the game. You can win many matches from your batting, so keep believing in yourself’,” he added further.
