Shivam Dube's knock didn't help Rajasthan Royals to put up a good score against MI.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) all-rounder Shivam Dube was heavily roasted on social media after his knock against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Thursday (April 29). Dube scored 31 runs off 35 deliveries and RR lost the match by 7 wickets after scoring 171/4.
Dube got slammed for his slow innings as it hampered their chances of a big score against a strong side like Mumbai. He batted with the poorest strike rate among the batsmen who faced 20 or more deliveries in RR's innings.
Twitterati joked about Dube's very little foot movement while batting after broadcasters who put a light on it. Some felt he shouldn't be picked in the playing XI, while a few also went on to question his Team India selection.
