Dube’s remarks added spice to the ongoing banter among IPL players, especially after his key role in CSK’s five-wicket triumph at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Cricket Stadium. With 44 runs needed in the last four overs, the pressure was on, but MS Dhoni hit some quick boundaries, bringing the target down to 24 runs in two overs.
In the 19th over, Dube smashed a four and a six, followed by a boundary from Dhoni. Dube then confidently sealed the win with a powerful shot in the final over, wrapping up the game in style for CSK. While walking back to the dressing room, Shivam Dube heard RCB fans shouting at him.
