Team India all-rounder Shivam Dube has come up with some handy performances in Asia Cup 2025, which is currently underway in the UAE. While Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel are the senior all-rounders in the Men in Blue squad, the Indian think tank has backed Dube as well and he has delivered the goods.
The right-arm medium pacer registered figures of 3-4 from two overs in India's opening match against UAE in Dubai as the Men in Blue thumped the hosts by nine wickets. He did not bowl in the group match against Pakistan and then went wicketless against Oman. Dube, however, played a key role in India's victory against Pakistan in the Super 4 round, claiming two wickets for 33 runs.
The all-rounder has not had much to do with the bat in Asia Cup 2025 so far. Ahead of India's next Super 4 clash against Bangladesh in Dubai on Wednesday, September 24, we compare Dube's stats with that of veteran West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell.
