The talented all-rounder impressed everyone with his batting this season in the initial phase of the league when he scored a match-winning unbeaten knock of 95 runs in 46 deliveries against Royal Challengers Bangalore. So far, he has scored a total of 247 runs in eight matches this season. He has scored two half-centuries and played with an average of 35.29 and a powerful strike rate of 159.35. Batting at the number three position helped him as well as the Chennai Super Kings to optimize his services.

In his IPL career, he has scored a total of 646 runs in 32 matches with a decent strike rate of 132.92. Chennai Super Kings have nothing to lose in this situation as they are out of the playoffs race and are struggling to find the winning momentum. They are currently at the ninth position in the points table. Shivam Dube is someone who emboldens their batting line-up, and with the late inclusion of Devon Conway, Dube’s inclusion can only benefit the Super Kings.

Shivam has got the power-hitting abilities and combined with the handy bowling he must be included in the playing XI in their upcoming matches. Chennai had its flaws and they did not capitalize on their full potential this season but keeping a player like Shivam Dube out of the scheme of things may not be the right choice. Chennai needs to include him in the line-up to end this season on a positive note.
