IND vs NZ T20 World Cup 2026 Final: Waiting for some more time. Then India and New Zealand face each other in the mega final of T20 World Cup. Before that, India’s left-handed star is on the verge of Rohit Sharma.
India’s all-rounder Shivam Dubey is playing an important role with the bat in the 2026 T20 World Cup. Throughout the tournament, he caught the eye by batting aggressively for the team. Especially against England, his innings helped India build big scores. Dubey scored 43 off just 25 balls in that match, which included four huge sixes and a four. His innings played at a strike rate of 172 was instrumental in taking India’s score to 253/7.
Behind this change in Dub is the important advice of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Mumbai cricketer Siddhesh Lad said that Rohit gave Dubey many important tips on changing his batting style. Earlier, Dube wanted to play big shots at the crease, but now he understands the situation and bats.
Siddhesh Lad said, “Earlier Dubey only tried to hit big shots. But now he plays according to the match situation. Talks with Rohit Sharma have brought about a big change in his batting.” Now Dube not only relies on sixes but also focuses on taking singles from good balls. As a result, he can easily turn 20-25 runs into 40 or 50 runs.

The proof of that mature batting can also be seen in the match against England. Dube batted aggressively against spinner Adil Rashid in particular. He hit two crucial sixes in Rashid’s third over, which eased the pressure on Sanju Samson at the other end. As a result, Rashid did not find his rhythm and conceded 41 for 2 in his four overs.
Dub’s childhood coach Satish Samant also praised his progress. He said that although it was difficult to play shots on a slow pitch, Dube showed the ability to turn the match there. His aggressive mindset always puts pressure on the spinners. So Dub’s batting has become important for India in this World Cup.
