The Indian cricket team suffered from a middle order collapse against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024. The Rohit Sharma-led India reached 89/3 in 11.1 overs and it looked like the side will reach a formidable total. However, from thereon, the side suffered a collapse that will be talked about for the next few days.
From 89/3, India were all out for 119 in 19 overs. For just 30 runs, India lost seven wickets. The middle order wasn’t able to do anything and none of the last 7 batsmen could get to double digit scores.
After losing his wicket for only 3 runs, Shivam Dube bore the brunt of internet’s fury as fans questioned his inclusion in place of Rinku Singh.
Indian fans criticized Dube for his slow knock and said that Rinku Singh would be a far better fit than him in the playing XI as he has taken out India from tough situations before as well. The criticism only increased after Dube dropped an easy catch that could’ve seen Mohammad Rizwan be dismissed early in the Pakistan innings.
Dube needs to improve his form quickly otherwise he would end up losing his spot in the playing XI to either Rinku Singh or some other player.
