After India's 50-run loss in the fourth T20l against New Zealand, all- rounder Shivam Dube reflected on his big-hitting ability and said playing matches regularly has helped him deal with the match situations and develop a strong mindset.

Shivam Dube flickered brightly with a fifty of exceptional quality but it was insufficient to prevent India's 50-run defeat against New Zealand in the fourth T20I in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday.

The former India opener shared his opinions after the second T20I against New Zealand in Raipur that the hosts won by 7 wickets.

Shivam Dube had the best seat in the house as he enjoyed his Mumbai mate Suryakumar Yadav finally display the wide range of shots he is known for.

Runs have dried up for Suryakumar, with his last T20I fifty coming back in October 2024.

India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav addressed the talking point around Rinku Singh's exclusion and highlighting the versatility Shivam Dube brings to the squad.

Ayush Mhatre's 53-ball 110 not out and India all-rounder Shivam Dube's unbeaten 39 powered Mumbai to a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over Vidarbha.

Hardik is out of international action due to injury. He last played for India in the Asia Cup in September this year.

Gautam Gambhir backed Shivam Dube to bowl in the 4th T20I against Australia, despite admitting that the all-rounder is likely to concede a lot of runs.

All-rounder Shivam Dube said the total posted by India against Australia in the 4th T20I was good enough, considering the ground dimensions at the Carrara Oval in Queensland.
