Shivam Dube, the powerful left-handed batter, shared insights into a conversation with skipper Rohit Sharma, where the Indian skipper urged him to showcase his abilities during the series against Afghanistan in early January. This encouragement provided Dube with a glimpse of his potential inclusion in India’s squad for the upcoming Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, a goal he ultimately achieved with a spot in the 15-member squad. Despite experiencing a dip in form after his T20I debut for India in 2019, Dube's impressive performance in IPL 2023 for the Chennai Super Kings reignited his international prospects.
