For ‘Unwavering Support’ Shivam Dube Hails Rohit Sharma, Rahul Dravid
Shivam Dube, the all-rounder of team India, who was initially struggling with his form in the T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and Caribbean, said that coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma had constantly backed him, and their faith in his abilities has helped him to stay focused. Dube did not have much impact with the bat in the T20 mega event, scoring 13 runs in eight matches with the highest score of 34. But he proved his worth when it was needed the most. His 27-off-16-ball cameo in the summit clash turned out to be vital to India’s title victory.
Dube said, “The World Cup journey taught me a lot. The final was a crucial moment, and I am glad I could contribute to the team’s efforts. Every match in the T20 World Cup was a learning experience, and the support from my teammates and fans kept me motivated. In the end, it’s about giving your best for the team and making every opportunity count.”
He further said, "It was both challenging and motivating. It was a test of my mental strength and perseverance. The unwavering support from our captain and coach was incredible. They constantly backed me, encouraging me to stay positive and keep working hard. Their faith in my abilities and their guidance helped me stay focused and believe in myself. This experience has made me stronger and more determined to improve and contribute to the team's success in the future.”
