Touted as a T20 specialist, Shivam Dube aspires to be an Indian Test cricketer. Despite his limited technique as a batter, Dube still dreams of donning the India whites in the purest form of cricket.

In the fourth T20I, Shivam Dube was replaced by Harshit Rana as a concussion substitute, with Harshit - primarily a pure pacer - deemed a like-for-like replacement for a batting all-rounder like Dube.
