Many team India stars have recently been seen going to temples and exploring their divine side. Virat Kohli found his form after getting in touch with his spiritual side. KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma are the few other players who have shown their spiritual side.
India’s youngsters lead the charge in an easy win
Chasing a target of 173 runs, the Indian team lost Rohit Sharma for 0 and Virat Kohli for 29. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube then went after the bowlers and took the game away from Afghanistan. The third wicket stand was worth 92 runs from just seven overs as young Jaiswal fell for 68. Shivam Dube was not out on 63 to score his second successive fifty and third of his T20I career.
Speaking at the end of the game to Jio Cinema, Shivam Dube said “This Credit goes to the CSK team and Mahi Bhai. I always had the game, but what CSK do is take the game out of the player. So, they made me a confident player. They told me I could score runs and they have belief in me”
Following the exploits of Shivam Dube, many fans are calling for his inclusion in the T20I World Cup squad. With Hardik Pandya suffering injury concerns regularly, there is a strong case for Shivam Dube.
Meanwhile, Aakash Chopra has lauded Yashasvi Jaiswal after the young batter scored 68 runs on Sunday. The former India star said on Jio Cinema “Yashasvi is going. Again, the way he is batting. You will feel it would be unfair if you do not take him. He has gone beyond Gill. Now you will not be able to touch him”
