Despite the possibility that fellow travelers might recognize him, Shivam Dubey took the risk as he wanted to return to his four-year-old son Ayaan and two-year-old daughter Mehwish in Mumbai as soon as possible.
Shivam Dubey was one of the most important members of the T20 World Cup winning Indian team He had a big contribution in the team’s victory in the World Cup semi-final and final Unbelievable as it sounds, after winning the World Cup, Shivam returned home by train without getting a flight ticket to Dubai. He also visited the air-conditioned room of the third class of the train
Even though there is nothing unusual about train travel, it is easy to imagine what could have happened inside the train or at the station if fellow passengers recognized him. And the Indian all-rounder took action by anticipating it in advance
Even after that, Shivam Dubey was almost recognized by the ticket examiner But Dube’s wife fooled the ticket examiner present
It is known that Dube was supposed to return to Mumbai with his wife Anjum Khan and a friend after the World Cup final. But the Indian star did not get any flight ticket from Ahmedabad to Mumbai
Shivam Dubey told The Indian Express, ‘There were no tickets on any of the flights.’ So I decided to take an early morning train from Ahmedabad to Mumbai 3 AC tickets of the train were available Me, my wife and a friend decide to return by train Everyone, however, forbade us to travel by train Because they were worried about what would happen if someone recognized me at the station or on the train.’
Dubey said he wore a cap and face mask to fool the fans He also wears full-sleeved clothes But fans were likely to recognize him on the train as well “I told my wife I will wait in the car outside the station,” said Dubey I will run and get on the train five minutes before it leaves.’
After boarding the train, Dubey fell to the top berth As a result, none of the fellow travelers could recognize him that way As there was a 5.10 am train on it, most of the passengers were sleeping then
But all the plans were destroyed by the train ticket examiner When he came to check the ticket and saw the name Shivam Dube, he asked, ‘Is this the cricketer Shivam Dube?’ Immediately, Dube’s wife said, ‘No, no, cricketer Shivam Dube will come here from where?’ Believing the words of Dub’s wife, the ticket examiner went back with a simple mind
Dube said, apart from this, they did not have any difficulty in the train journey But when the train reached Mumbai at noon, it was difficult to escape the fans at the station So the Indian star informed the police in advance Dube said that the police were also surprised to hear that he was coming by train Although finally enough police personnel were already deployed at Borivali station They took the Indian star out of the station smoothly
