Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Shivam Dube had an ordinary outing with the bat against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) on Friday, March 31. Much to the surprise of many fans, Dube was sent to bat at No.6, ahead of Ravindra Jadeja and skipper MS Dhoni. The swashbuckling batter failed to up the ante as he clearly struggled to time the ball properly early in his innings. While he did hit a stunning six in the penultimate over of CSK's innings, he perished on the very next delivery as Mohammed Shami got the better of him with a short ball. Shivam Dube failed to make the most of his chance, managing 19 runs off 18 balls. A number of CSK supporters took to social media to slam the left-handed batter for the underwhelming knock. Here are some of the top reactions on Twitter:crazystalker🇮🇹@nanakostanEvery time Shivam Dube bats, I remember this meme11117Every time Shivam Dube bats, I remember this meme https://t.co/X6JWU1XJh2Paritosh Kumar 🏏@ParitoshK_2016Shivam Dube single handedly brought down the total of 190 to 178 🥲MS Dhoni at 42 is better than him. #TATAIPL | #ShivamDube | #IPL2023 | #GTvCSK | #GTvsCSK | #WhistlePoduShivam Dube single handedly brought down the total of 190 to 178 🥲MS Dhoni at 42 is better than him. #TATAIPL | #ShivamDube | #IPL2023 | #GTvCSK | #GTvsCSK | #WhistlePodusakthi@sakthidayalan@ChennaiIPL Shivam dube is wasted against short pitch bowling, he sucked up the momentum of Ruturaj and neither did he get going@ChennaiIPL Shivam dube is wasted against short pitch bowling, he sucked up the momentum of Ruturaj and neither did he get goingTusharsen Sahoo🇮🇳🇮🇳@TusharsenSahooIn my book #shivamdube is the worst player #ipl2023In my book #shivamdube is the worst player #ipl2023Piyush Sharma@misterpiyushOur Impact player is Shivam Dube #IPL2023232Our Impact player is Shivam Dube #IPL2023 https://t.co/HXPLHF6tdBABBA Fan@_Blindinho_Shivam Dube142Shivam Dube https://t.co/ANR4HowEKzNyctophile@InternetBaleKeep Shivam Dube as impact player and never use impact player in this season. #GTvsCSKKeep Shivam Dube as impact player and never use impact player in this season. #GTvsCSKvirat kohli Addictor@k74781455@Rajiv1841 Shivam Dube apni hi team ko le Dube...@Rajiv1841 Shivam Dube apni hi team ko le Dube...tn💯@133bro@ChennaiIPL Drop shivam dube🤬🤬🤬 from 11...please@ChennaiIPL Drop shivam dube🤬🤬🤬 from 11...pleaseɐslɐɯ@pitchinginlineIt's just shivam dube standing in the crease without any feet movement.878It's just shivam dube standing in the crease without any feet movement. https://t.co/sKkhAm2bmWgame of balls@game_of_ballCSK fans watching that shivam Dube innings :#ipl2023 #CSK #GTvsCSKCSK fans watching that shivam Dube innings :#ipl2023 #CSK #GTvsCSK https://t.co/hpwU0Zzie7Harish Ramanathan@HarishRock89@ChennaiIPL @Ruutu1331 Shivam dube the speed breaker!!!@ChennaiIPL @Ruutu1331 Shivam dube the speed breaker!!!Right Arm Over@RightArmOver_Shivam Dube ne Dhoni jaise insaan ko kaise pagal banaya hua hai ye bahut badi mystery hai.#CSKvGT twitter.com/RightArmOver_/…Right Arm Over@RightArmOver_Shivam Dube is the biggest fraud in this CSK team which is full of frauds.#GTvCSKShivam Dube is the biggest fraud in this CSK team which is full of frauds.#GTvCSKShivam Dube ne Dhoni jaise insaan ko kaise pagal banaya hua hai ye bahut badi mystery hai.#CSKvGT twitter.com/RightArmOver_/…Mrigainder Sen@mrigainder_seneven tailenders bat better than Shivam Dube#ipleven tailenders bat better than Shivam Dube#iplAbhinav Verma@averma12Honestly I don't get teams paying a lot for shivam dube.

With 289 runs from 11 innings, he finished as the second-highest run-getter for Chennai. He had a fantastic strike rate of 156.21 to his name and received widespread praise for a scintillating unbeaten 95-run knock against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Ruturaj Gaikwad starred with the bat for CSK in their clash against GTGT skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and deiced to bowl first at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. CSK had a shaky start, losing opener Devon Conway early. However, Ruturaj Gaikwad steadied the ship for his side. The right-handed batter continued to score runs at a brisk pace even though wickets kept tumbling at the other end. The talented youngster missed out on a well-deserved century as he was dismissed for 92 off 50 balls. He hit nine sixes and four boundaries in his entertaining knock before falling to a high full-toss from Alzarri Joseph in the 18th over.Sportskeeda@SportskeedaRuturaj Gaikwad’s classy knock carried CSK towards a decent total 🏏#CricketTwitter #IPL #CSKvsGT #CSK #GT182Ruturaj Gaikwad’s classy knock carried CSK towards a decent total 🔥🏏#CricketTwitter #IPL #CSKvsGT #CSK #GT https://t.co/cTnl5IMaxHThe Chennai-based side posted 178/7 in their stipulated 20 overs.
