New York's field is ready. On June 9, the biggest clash of the T20 World Cup 2024 between India and Pakistan is scheduled to be played here. The whole world awaits this match, which will start at 8 PM Indian Standard Time.
When players from India and Pakistan face each other on the cricket field, the excitement is at its peak. Most of the players in this year's World Cup have played against Pakistan, but there is one player who is going to make his debut against Pakistan for the first time.
We are talking about Team India's new star Shivam Dube, who has made it to the T20 World Cup team for the first time.
Although he did not get a chance to bat against Ireland, it is expected that captain Rohit Sharma may consider giving him a chance in the next match against Pakistan.
If this happens, this will be his first international match against Pakistan and all eyes will be on him.
Shivam Dube has played 22 T20 Internationals for India so far, scoring a total of 276 runs. He has an average of 39.42 and a strike rate of 143.75. He has also scored three half-centuries in this format.
Apart from his batting, he also contributes in bowling, taking 8 wickets in T20 Internationals. His all-round abilities make him a valuable asset for any team.
Recently, Shivam Dube showcased an outstanding performance for his team in the IPL. This is why the BCCI's selection committee has included him in India's squad for the T20 World Cup 2024.
Speaking of the IPL, he has scored 396 runs in 14 matches this year, averaging close to 36 with a strike rate of 162. It will be interesting to see how Shivam Dube performs if he gets a chance against Pakistan on June 9.
As everyone knows, a player who performs well in such matches can suddenly become a star, but even a slight mistake might not be forgiven by the fans.
