Shivam Dube reminds me of Fakhar Zaman.

[maniac]

I mean that as a compliment. I like Zaman as a batsman. Same hitting style from Dube. 

[nitinbwj]

And both suck against pace.

They have the Same limitations but in their zone the ball disappears at any pace.

[vvvslaxman]

I don't think Dube sucks against pace. He  has improved. Just he is not as belligerent. Our all the "pace bowler" specialists cost world cup after world cup because they run into a guy like santner. Santner's world T20 economy against India is 3.5 ! Think about it.

[putrevus]

Fakhar is lot more explosive and far better batsman than Dube.On his day he can win matches by himself against any team.

Fakhar not as muscular and Taller like Dube but better player of pace. 

Spin game is similar.

Dube has better reach. Some of the sixes he hit were really good balls for other batsmen. He just extended his reach to convert it into a hittable deliveries. Something we need badly in our line up where batsmen's first instinct to cover the stumps and dink for singles against spinners especially left arm spinner. Kohli's strike rate against left arm spinner this season is 84.

[deepdynamo]

On current form, Dube is a must for team India. 

 

A top 7 for the windies world cup. Trust Pandya/Dube/Jaiswal to cover up for the 5 bowler. 

 

Rohit 

Jaiswal

Kohli

Sky

Dube

Pandya

Rinku

 

I repeat again. We cannot go with Axar/Jadeja at no. 7 and then 4 bowler. That will end up in disaster.

 

So if Rohit, Kohli & Pandya are undroppable, surround them with Jaiswal, Sky, Dube and Rinku.

Where is your sixth bowling option?You need five bowlers plus the guys you mentioned.

 

How many of those guys are even bowling in IPL.

[cricketfan28]

definitely better looking , i think zaman is better batsman.

with undercutter, boobi, harshal, mukesh, sandeep, mohit you don't need a keeper. just any random player can keep to their "pace". likewise for our non-spinning spinners barring kuldeep

[Nikhil_cric]

Dube is actually stronger against spin. Fakhar can't destroy spin on a slow pitch .

 

Also struggles against pace on a good length.  However , Fakhar is an overall better player no doubt.

That 200 knock was special. Incredible feat. Still think nz might have just edged that but then they have a mental block vs them

[Kron]

Adamant very shortly will post by saying ," guys like dube, rinku tinku, harshit, jurel will all fail in international LOI cricket. Also sai".

They are nothing cricketers. 

 

Kohli rohit is the best we have. 

 

 

[vvvslaxman]

We had this guy named Atul bedade in the late 90s. HE was a bit like this guy. But with his height he looks more like Yuvi.

[Gollum]

Fakhar has a 190+ score in RSA. And the recent blinder against NZ in WC chasing 400. Plus FZ is clutch, even in the 2021 T20 WC SF it was him who took apart the Aussies. These two aren't even in the same galaxy, Fakhar's competition is Dhawan.

They think t20s, say, world T20 sides are built on reputation,one who is in form for just 2-3 months can win you 3-4 games based on their brute cameos

Wt20s are lost and won their,many average to potential greats have delivered Wt20s to their sides

History doesn't mean in anything in this joke(funny, unpredictable)of a format

We tend to make mistakes and repeat the cycle I don't know for how many years?

 

[Jamadagni]

Lol no. Fakhar is a far far better player. Dube sucks against pace. Guys like Dube, Tripathi, Tilak Verma, Nitish Rana etc suck against good pace bowing. They just have far too many limitations event though their intent is good. India have many players better than them.

 

Indian batsmen who have no apparent weakness against pace or spin:

 

Rohit

Kohli

Gill

Jaiswal
KL

SKY
Samson
Riyan Parag 
Abhishek Sharma
Ruturaj
Rinku 
 

India should select their top 6 based on form from the above list. However, there should be only ONE in the XI amongst Kohli, KL and Ruturaj.
