Shot of the Day - Shivam Dube's brutal power launches T Natarajan into the stands - SRH vs CSK IPL 2024

Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Shivam Dube once again put his brutal power on display during Match 19 of IPL 2024 between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The southpaw played a quick-fire knock of 45 (24) smashing two fours and four sixes in his innings. Dube walked in to bat after CSK failed to make the most of the powerplay fielding restrictions and were 54/2 after 7.1 overs.

The southpaw took on T. Natarajan in the 12^th over of the innings as he smashed him for back-to-back sixes. The first one was a disdainful whack against a short delivery which was deposited over deep square leg. The other one was lofted in the same direction on a ball which was heading towards the leg side.
