    CSK Strategy Pays Off: Shivam Dube Evolves from Spin Hitter to All-Pace Powerhouse

    Analysis by Third Umpire·January 30, 2026

    Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Shivam Dube continues to showcase his evolution as a complete T20 batter, crediting the CSK franchise for nurturing his skills. Dube, who recently smashed a blistering 65 off 23 balls against New Zealand, was initially honed by the Super Kings management primarily as a specialist hitter against spin bowling.

    This strategic development has paid dividends, as Dube has now successfully translated that power and confidence into dominating pace attacks as well. His ability to accelerate rapidly against both types of bowling makes him a crucial asset for both CSK in the IPL and the Indian national team, especially ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup.

    His performance in the recent T20I series underlines his potential to be a key all-round option, capable of utilizing both his batting prowess and developing bowling skills to provide balance to the squad.
