Kris Srikkanth has raised concerns over Shivam Dube’s bowling during the T20 World Cup match against Zimbabwe. The former India captain questioned Dube’s line and control. His comments have sparked fresh debate among fans.

Srikkanth said he was surprised to see Dube bowling so wide and without consistency. According to him, such a line makes scoring easier for batters. He stressed that this could be risky with crucial matches ahead.

Shivam Dube was used as the sixth bowling option in the match. He conceded heavily in his two overs and failed to build pressure. This has led to questions about whether India have a reliable sixth bowler in the squad.

Srikkanth clarified that India’s main bowlers are performing well. He said there is no major issue with the core bowling attack. The concern, however, lies with the backup options.

He believes the team management must carefully assess their combination before the knockout stage. In high pressure games like the Semi final, every over becomes vital. A dependable sixth bowler could make a big difference.

Although Dube’s spell did not affect the final result, it has drawn attention from experts. With tougher challenges coming up, India will seek greater control and consistency from their supporting bowlers.
