Fri Jan 24 14:36:40 IST 2025: ## Shivam Dube’s Double Duck Dims CSK Hopes Ahead of IPL 2025
**Mumbai, India** – Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be concerned after all-rounder Shivam Dube’s disastrous performance in the ongoing Ranji Trophy. Dube, who was retained by CSK for a hefty ₹12 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, was dismissed for a duck in both innings of Mumbai’s match against Jammu and Kashmir.
In the first innings, Dube faced only three balls before being dismissed. He fared no better in the second, facing four balls without scoring. This performance comes as a setback after a relatively successful Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign.
Dube is a seasoned IPL player with 65 matches under his belt, having scored 1502 runs at a 30.04 average and a 146.67 strike rate. He has also taken 5 wickets at an average of 36.00. However, his current form will raise questions about his readiness for the upcoming IPL season. The article also briefly mentions the upcoming India vs England T20 match and speculated team selections but that is not related to Shivam Dube’s performance.
