Shivam Dube doesn't get enough credit: Aakash Chopra
"Oh, yes, of course. I think he doesn't get enough credit. He's got exceptional skill and quality to hit sixes. He takes down spinners for fun. He also allows the team to plan accordingly as far as their batting resources are concerned, something that India did throughout the 2026 World Cup-winning campaign, where it was, if it was against England, they just threw him in before Surya (Suryakumar Yadav) could walk out," Chopra said in the video.

"The same thing was done earlier, and now you just have him there. Knowing well if there is a period where spinners are likely to dominate, you throw him in, and he'll take them apart. And to do that in big games, finals, like World Cup finals, it takes some doing;g it is exceptional. He and all should be accredited and applauded a little more, is what I feel," the former opener added.
