1. Shivam Dube was born on June 26 in 1993. The all-rounder from Mumbai has played junior cricket for his state before making it to the senior team.

2. Shivam made his domestic cricket debut for Mumbai in Vijay Hazare Trophy against Rajasthan in Chennai. In the next season, he donned his maiden Ranji Trophy camp against Karnataka in the quarter-final of Ranji Trophy. R Vinay Kumar bagged a hat-trick in the match to hand Mumbai a heavy defeat by a margin of an innings and 20 runs.

3. In 2018/19 Ranji season, Shivam drew limelight for his all-round abilities in the initial stages. At one stage, he was averaging 99.50 in Ranji Trophy. In five matches that he has played, Shivam has scored 489 runs and has scalped 17 wickets.

4. Shivam warmed up well for IPL auction in style by hitting five sixes off Swapnil Singh at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. He missed the sixth shot.

5. His prowess in Ranji trophy impressed Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar, who opined that he will be the radar of every IPL team. "One player who will definitely be on the radar of the scouts of the franchises, as well as the national selectors, is Shivam Dubey. Not since Yuvraj Singh and Sourav Ganguly has a left-hander hit the ball so cleanly and powerfully in Indian cricket,” he wrote in his column for mid-day.

I like him but his pace needs to go up 5-10clicks. Mid-120s right now which as someone else said, will be easy pickings in international cricket.
 
Insta rejection on basis of speed needs to stop - Philander / Abbas bowl mid 120s , Bhuvi used to bowl the same pace when he came in the side. If his averages get worse by 7-8 points after making it to the internationals for both bowling and batting - he'd still be a damn good inclusion.
 
He can swing the ball but is otherwise a classic trundler. Very clean hitter of the ball.
 
Unbeaten 79 off 60 balls (6 sixes) in the 1st one-day against South Africa 'A' in Thiruvananthapuram.
Unbeaten 45 off 28 balls (3 sixes) in the 3rd game.
 
31 off 17 in the 4th game batting two positions higher at No. 5 this time. Second highest run-getter in the series so far even though he played 2 out of 3 games at No. 7. His bowling isn't anything special but I reckon he'll debut for India in ODIs pretty soon as a No.5/No.6 batsman.

When you say the next big allrounder, who is the first one in your list? Stuart Binny? Hardik Pandya? Vijay Shankar?
 
Some crazy talent in India. Too pity only 11 players can play. India should be devided in 5 parts at least . That way many good players can showcase their talent.

too much politics bhai. Same like pakistan. They won't pick good players. It all goes through a vote system. Some players bribe their way into the team and also there is always favoritism.
 
Shivam Dube’s phone was constantly buzzing since the news of his maiden India call-up broke on Thursday evening. The Mumbai all-rounder earned his maiden India call-up after he was included in the T20I squad for the series against Bangladesh.

The only person he could inform was his father Rajesh before catching up for a quick chat. After all, it was his father who brought cricket to him after he missed cricket in his late teens – 15 to 20 – because of personal reasons.

Dube, a lower order hard-hitter who can also double up as a seam bowler, can be seen as a like for like replacement for Hardik Pandya. The 26-year-old, who stands at six feet, is expected to be an ideal candidate for India’s lower middle-order as the southpaw has the big six-hitting ability and can bowl at speeds above 130 kph.

It was this reputation of being a big hitter that brought him to the limelight last year. In a Mumbai T20 league match, he smashed veteran leg-spinner Pravin Tambe for 5 sixes. Then a day before the IPL 2019 auctions, he smashed Baroda’s Swapnil Singh for 5 sixes once again.

Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore wasted no time in securing his services for Rs 5 crore at the auctions of IPL 2019. He, however, did not have the best of times in IPL, scoring only 40 runs in 4 matches.

Not the one to get bogged down, Dube continued to put the hard yards and made rapid strides in the domestic circuit with consistent performances with an equally good outing in the India A series.

In the Ranji Trophy 2018/19, he made all the right noises and finished as the second-highest run-getter for Mumbai amassing 632 runs while taking 23 wickets at an average of 23.21.

Shivam Dube’s numbers in the past one year have been impressive with the southpaw scoring 934 runs and picking up 35 wickets in first class cricket. In List A cricket, he scored 366 runs and picked up 11 wickets.

But it was in the Vijay Hazare Trophy that he showed his true talent when scored a whirlwind 67-ball 118 (10×6) against Karnataka a couple of weeks ago. Was it this that caught the eye of the selectors?

“I think it was my performance in the domestic season as a whole. I am happy that selectors noticed my performances in domestic cricket and picked me for Team India,” Dube told the indianexpress.com in an exclusive chat.

Dube’s heroics even caught the attention of Indian great Sunil Gavaskar, who wrote in his column, “One player who will be on the radar of the scouts of the franchises, as well as the national selectors, is Shivam Dubey. Not since Yuvraj Singh and Sourav Ganguly has a left-hander hit the ball so cleanly and powerfully in Indian cricket.”

“Comparing me with someone like Yuvraj Singh is big so really thankful to Mr. Gavaskar. I’ll try to work harder and perform at the international stage.”

So is it possible that we could see a repeat of his feat of 5 sixes. “When I wear the India colours, I shall try my best to continue performing the way I am doing now. I won’t curb my instincts because I have reached this stage with the same things and I want to continue playing the same way. So ya why not?,” he said.

“As an allrounder, I need to bowl some overs and am ready for that. I am also working on my speeds,” he added.

Dube also had a word of advice for those looking to make it to the big stage. “Don’t think of any shortcuts. Work hard. Domestic cricket still holds importance and you rise from there. For international selection one needs to dominate domestic cricket,” he concluded.

Getting chances over pandya is not easy unless if he deliver exceptional performance

Pandya himself was rarely able to do anything close to be called exceptional, I think a decent performances with consistency will be enough for him to make the squads. I know Pandya is rated in India and by some people on PP as well but I am personally yet to see anything exceptional or close to the hype he gets. He is a okish to decent all rounder and thats about in my opinion and even his stats manifest that. Pandya can bowl with decent pace which gives him an edge over other pace bowling all rounders in India.

They can both play if Dube performs with the bat like he has been doing for Mumbai and India 'A' in the past few months.

I think Dube was picked for his big hitting mainly. And he is a fierce hitter.

Just hope he has worked on short ball problem. We can't afford our power hitters, him and Pandya both being vulnerable to short pitch stuff for a WC in Australia. Pandya has shown some improvement but still can't strike as well against it.

can dube play test cricket? can he play the short ball in test cricket ?
 
Left hand bat, has some flair like Yuvi. I hope he gets a good run in T20s.

Left hand bat in middle order is gold.

Dube is a proper long format bat. Better than Pandya and Shankar but like most domestic indian batters he isn't comfortable against really quick bowlers bowling short. As posters above said he is Yuvraj lite in batting.
 
There is one video of him on YouTube talking a 5er in a T20 and I must say he looks really slow.

His hitting does look good though.
 
He has put up good batting numbers at domestic and A level.
Deserves his chance.
 
How can Shivam Dubey become a big all rounder when another big all rounder Hardik Pandya is still around? Has the fans given up on Pandya already?

There was only one big genuine all rounder from India and that was Kapil Dev. :inti

People compared Pandya to Kapil Dev. He needs to get on the field first! Dev was fit most of his career.
 
Reality is that top 4 seam bowling allrounders in country are
1) Hardik
2) Vijay Shankar
3) Stuart Binny
4) Shivam Dubey

Reality is also that 3 of these 4 are not even first XI picks for their IPL franchise also.

Unfortunately India have no option but to play and try to make something out of depressingly average players like Shankar and Dubey

They're not trying to "make something out of" Dube. He got in based on his recent performances.
 
Even Shankar had excellent domestic and India A run, these guys real worth can be assessed in couple of matches at intl level.
They are simply not good enough.

Shankar's batting is atleast only 1-2 notches below level and his bowling is pedestrian

Dubey is a nothing more than a high class gully slogger who can run and bowl right arm slow

Yeah why not lol. And how many matches would you like to give to Dubey before discarding him? In my opinion in a fair world they should get as many chances as Pandya or Pant. :inti

Shankar deserved his chance and so does Dube. Especially considering the state of our middle order for the past few years. There aren't many good middle order limited overs batsmen in India.
 
54 off 30 against West Indies with 4 sixes, 3 in consecutive balls against Kieron Pollard. Will be interesting to see how he goes in the remaining T20Is and ODIs with some confidence under his belt now.
 
I'd take his innings today with a pinch of salt. Only dominated Pollard and looked awful against pace and spin with a dodgy backlift. Still well played though and should be persisted with as he can be the 6th bowler as well.
 
Not convincing. He has like 20% of Yuvi's timing. There is no flow to his innings. He just tries to mow everything over midwicket instead of reacting to the ball.

Need to see more of him. He's done well for India 'A' recently in one-dayers. Obviously this is a T20I so he'll play accordingly.

But yeah, he's more of a slogger like Pant than a timing player like Rohit Sharma or Yuvraj Singh.
 
By the way, were did india find these amazing bowlers - sundar and the lightening quick pacer(cant remember his name) lol!

Dube did pretty good with the bat. Got a 30 ball 54. In his third match. I don't quite understand what's so funny about it.

Looks like you haven't watched the highlights

The guy's an even bigger Tulaybaaz than Fakhar

The guy couldn't hit a shot for his life before Pollard came on.
The only reason he scored what he did was because of Pollard. That's it.
 
He is okayish..Will have to improve more, similar to Vijay Shankar. I don't see either of two making a good name for themselves playing for India.

Pandya is still the best choice as an odi all-rounder IMO and if India plays with 6 batsmen in tests, then he is my pick as fast bowling AR outside Asia also.

India's problem remains that we have a lot of players who do well at top for us but we need quality 4,5 and 6 like Yuvraj, Dhoni etc.
 
Looks very under-cooked. There is talent though. Lets see what Bengaluru coaches can achieve with him this season.
 
I saw the match yesterday, he batted well but bowling will be his weak point and India already have long list of batsmen waiting for their chance.
 
his first class record is actually quite impressive. I will wait to see what he does in test format before forming conclusions.
 
He is an ATG prospect for tennis ball tournament cricket.
Best international inns i have ever seen played by a batsman with only one shot.
 
No he is not. His bowling is mediocre and batting is one-dimensional, as of today. Doesn't warrant a place in the playing XI. Happy to see that change and him improving both bowling and batting.
 
Atleast he's better than Vijay Shankar. He might be in the squad for T20 World Cup but won't be in the playing XI.
 
Just think the tag of 'all rounder' is used too loosely, for an all rounder you should have multiple skills and can make it to the team based on one set of skills only with the other handy...eg Botham, Imran, kapil, hadlee, cairns, kallis etc, ...the little i've seen of Shivam, his pace needs to increase by about 15 k, batting looks his strong suit....we've got several of his type, he really needs to stand out in both dept's else hardik pandya will be back soon

shankar is underrated. He was barely given any chances. He did well vs n.z in the 5 match odi series.

You're wasting your time and energy talking sense here! Indians on this forum want the useless Pant to have a million opportunities so their claims about him being a superstar will come true one day, but want to discard Shankar because he failed in a couple of matches! Heck! Shankar in his short stint played more impactful knocks than Pant in LOIs! But but but Shankar has no swag!
 
Both Shankar and Pant are mediocre. So is Hardik Pandya. And definitely this Shivam Dubey. I would even add Shubhman Gill and Shreyas Iyer to the list. No reason to defend any of these guys. Nor is there any reason to gang up against any specific one, like some posters here are doing. They are all equally one-dimensional and sometimes downright mediocre.
