Indian bowling coach Morne Morkel went on to back all-rounder Shivam Dube despite his uneconomical spells in the ICC T20 World Cup. Morkel also backed the all-rounder's ability to provide India with a couple of useful overs in the game.
Though Shivam Dube has been sparingly used with the ball during the tournament, India's team management still considers him a valuable part of the part-time option, especially during crucial phases of the game.
Former Indian batter Mohammad Kaif also suggested that India should start reconsidering using Shivam Dube as a bowling option, knowing how aggressive the batters have been against him.
The Indian bowling coach, Morne Morkel, has backed all-rounder Shivam Dube despite his expensive spells in the ongoing T20 World Cup. He said that his spells going wrong is not about form but only about the lack of execution.
"I don’t think it’s a loss of bowling form. Shivam knows the game pretty well. At times our execution wasn’t great, and maybe the thinking behind some deliveries could have been better, but in terms of form, he is a guy who can still give us a couple of overs," Morne Morkel said.
Morne Morkel further added, "For him it’s about making smarter decisions with the ball. That’s an area we want to improve because, let’s be honest, teams are going to go after him and try to put him under pressure. If we can improve his execution and thinking with the ball, that will help us a lot."
Shivam Dube's awful bowling form
Shivam Dube's bowling form has been awful in this T20 World Cup. Having played 7 matches in the World Cup, he has bowled just 9.2 overs and has conceded 124 runs at an economy of 13.28 and picked up just 5 wickets.
His toughest outings came against major teams in the Super 8, as he conceded 46 runs in just two overs against Zimbabwe, which followed his former spell of 32 runs and a wicket in two overs in India's Super 8 clash against South Africa.
He is still immensely useful to the team, as he has amassed 166 runs in 7 matches at an average of 33.20 and an impressive strike rate of 156.60. Dube's all-around skills will be crucial for the big semi-final clash against England.
Shivam Dube: The Silent match-winner for India
Shivam Dube, the all-rounder for India, has been in very fine touch with the bat in the ICC T20 World Cup. He was also the highest scorer for India in the match against South Africa, when the rest of the batting order collapsed without making any significant contribution.
He could not be dropped, as he has been very effective with the bat in winning matches for India. At times, he comes into play as a finisher and adds the cherry on top during India's massive run chases.
In the last game against the West Indies, he hit two crucial boundaries that helped India break into the final over with some sheer confidence. When he came in, India needed 17 off 10 balls, and he scored 8 runs with his bat while also picking a quick double.
Out of 10 matches where he stood unbeaten for India, India have won all their matches under such circumstances.
