Former captain Kris Srikkanth’s bold comment has started a new debate about Shivam Dube’s future in the ODI team.
As India plans for the 2027 ODI World Cup, Srikkanth’s strong view has fans wondering if the selectors agree.
Srikkanth said Shivam Dube is very unlikely to make India’s 2027 World Cup squad, even though he has another chance in the ODI team.
Don’t give chances to too many players. Srikkanth said Dube won’t play in the 2027 World Cup and is only in the team because Hardik and Nitish Kumar Reddy often get injured.
He said Hardik Pandya is India’s top pace-bowling all-rounder, so Dube will find it very hard to make the World Cup XI unless things change.
A strong all-round performance in the ODI series could make selectors reconsider Dube’s role and quiet his critics.
The 2027 World Cup is still far away, but this bold prediction puts a lot of pressure on Dube to perform well.
