Shivam’s powerful inning helped Chennai Super Kings reach the grand total of 206/6, which Gujarat eventually failed to chase helping Chennai clinch their second consecutive victory of the season.

Shivam walked in to bat when Ajinkya Rahane departed and Chennai was at 104/2. Building up a strong partnership with Daryl Mitchell, Dube took Chennai to 184/4 runs when he departed after getting caught by Vijay Shankar off Rashid Khan’s delivery.

However, the youngster’s fast-paced knock helped Chennai maintain the run-scoring momentum putting up a massive total on the board. This is the rising star’s second consecutive crucial performance, earlier having played a crucial role in CSK’s run chase against RCB in the opening game of IPL 2024, where he scored an unbeaten 34 runs off 28 balls.
