India’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign has seen its share of highs and lows, but one recurring issue is the underwhelming performance of Shivam Dube. His recent dismissal against Afghanistan has intensified calls for his replacement, with many fans clamoring for Sanju Samson or Rinku Singh to be given a chance.

Context of the Match

The Super 8 match against Afghanistan was a crucial one for India, setting the stage for potential progression in the T20 World Cup. With both teams fighting for a spot in the semi-finals, every run and wicket carried immense significance.

Dube’s Performance

Shivam Dube entered the crease with India needing stability and quick runs. He showed a glimmer of promise by hitting a six off Noor Ahmed, raising hopes among fans. However, his innings was cut short at 10 runs off 7 balls.

Rashid Khan’s Impact

Rashid Khan, Afghanistan’s star bowler, once again proved why he is one of the best in the business. His deceptive spin bowling was too much for Dube, who was trapped by a ball that struck his pad first. Despite the initial not out call from the on-field umpire, a review by the TV umpire overturned the decision, sending Dube back to the pavilion.

Umpire Decision Reversal

The decision reversal added drama to the match. Initially adjudged not out, the TV umpire’s review clearly showed the ball hitting Dube’s pad before making any contact with the bat, leading to his dismissal and further disappointment for Indian fans.

Fan Reactions

Social media erupted with frustration following Dube’s early exit. Fans have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with his continuous selection despite a series of lackluster performances. The prevailing sentiment is clear: it’s time for a change, and Sanju Samson or Rinku Singh should be given a chance.
