Shivam Dube Set To Replace Nitish Kumar Reddy In T20I Squad Against England

January 25, 2025: Shivam Dube’s recall to the India T20I squad is an exciting move, especially given his strong performances in domestic cricket. His explosive batting and handy bowling make him a valuable asset to the team, particularly in the middle overs. Dube’s performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy with a strike rate of 179.76 proves that he’s in great touch and could provide the firepower India might need in the later stages of an innings.

Although Dube’s recent outing in the Ranji Trophy didn’t go as planned, his all-round skills have been key in India’s previous T20 campaigns, especially during their T20 World Cup-winning run. With Nitish Kumar Reddy ruled out due to injury, Dube will offer more depth and flexibility, potentially giving India an extra bowling option while bolstering their batting strength.

India’s dominant performance in the first T20I was a statement of intent, and the second match in Chennai will be crucial to maintain that momentum. The squad looks well-balanced with some explosive batters, experienced bowlers, and all-rounders like Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel.
