Madness, absolute madness! It was raining fours and sixes from the bat of Shivam Dube at the D Y Patil Sports Stadium, Navi Mumbai. After a disastrous start to the ongoing 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League, this is what CSK actually needed – a total carnage!
After being asked to bat first, CSK lost Moeen Ali and Ruturaj Gaikwad early in the innings. They were in a spot of bother, however, Shivam Dube walked out with all guns blazing and started firing from the word go. He joined hands with Robin Uthappa and both the cricketers took the game away with a storm.
Though, Robin Uthappa took some time to settle, however, Shivam Dube had his attack mode on as he smashed the RCB bowlers to all the corners of the ground.
He played a destructive inning, that he and the fans of CSK will remember forever. He missed out on a much-deserving century but his knock of 95 runs will be ranked very highly by the fans of CSK. During his knock, he smashed 8 sixes and 5 fours. He was well supported by Robin Uthappa from the other hand, who also played an amazing knock of 88 runs.
Meanwhile, fans on social media went berserk with the stunning performance of Shivam Dube with the bat. From cricketers, experts to fans, everyone took to their Twitter to hail the brilliance of the mad show displayed by Dube. Even legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Irfan Pathan and Wasim Jaffer joined the bandwagon and hailed his talent.

(@internetumpire) DY Patil has always been a wonderful track to bat on. Having said that, this has been some fabulous hitting by @robbieuthappa & @IamShivamDube.
Controlled aggression at its best.#CSKvRCB
