Shivam Dube played a swashbuckling knock in the 18th match between Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Put into bat first, Chennai Super Kings didn’t have a flying start. And, soon after the powerplay, Shivam Dube came to bat.

He tried to take on the bowlers since the beginning and played shots all over the park. However, he smacked two consecutive sixes in the 12th over off the SRH speedster T Natarajan. It happened in the second ball of the over when the speedster bowled a short ball and Shivam Dube cleared his front leg and hit the pull over mid-wicket and sent the ball into the stands.

In the next delivery, Natarajan went full, but Dube smashed it over deep mid-wicket and this also landed in the stadium as well. His quick knocks helped CSK to post a decent total of 165 for 5  in their allotted 20 overs. He top-scored with 45 off 24 with 2 fours and 4 sixes as well.
