Fans demand to bring Rinku Singh in place of Shivam Dube | Source: X.com
Shivam Dube’s struggles in the only warm-up match of India in T20 World Cup 2024 against Bangladesh have sparked debate among Indian cricket fans.
Dube, who shone for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2024, failed to impress during his knock, leaving many calling for Rinku Singh’s inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad.
Batting at number five after Rishabh Pant’s well-made fifty, Dube could only manage 14 runs from 16 deliveries before being dismissed by Mahedi Hasan.
This disappointing outing has left fans questioning the selection. Many are advocating for Rinku Singh, known for his finishing prowess, to be given a chance ahead of Dube in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Let’s take a look at some of the reactions:

Shivam Dube looks good when he gets going but when it doesn’t come off, the struggle seems real! Recency bias has always been a problem with India. If Dube doesn’t find the rhythm again, India will regret much more for leaving out Rinku Singh, who should’ve been there in any case— Mohsin Kamal (@64MohsinKamal) June 1, 2024
