Shivam Dube has rightfully earned the award for the most improved player in the Indian Premier League, with his stature has grown at an unprecedented rate ever since he joined Chennai Super Kings. Last night against Gujarat Titans, Dube slammed five sixes and two fours for his fiery half-century that propelled Chennai to an imposing target.
"This franchise is different from all others. This franchise is giving me the freedom and I also want to win some matches for them," said Dube after winning Player of the Match. "I worked in that way as well - it is helping me, I know they are going to bowl short balls and I'm ready for that. They want me to go on a higher strike rate and I want to do that."
If Dube continues to perform this in the IPL 2023, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see his name in the final squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2023. Barring Dube, the only fast-bowling all-rounder India have is Hardik Pandya, whose batting form has been far from the best of late.
Shivam Dube's Main Source Of Income
Dube's main source of income is the Indian Premier League, where he is paid a hefty sum of Rs 4 crore every season. Dube also features regularly in domestic cricket, where he plays for Mumbai. He is yet to bag the central contract by the BCCI, but it seems like just a matter of time if he keeps conjuring match-winning performances like he did against Gujarat.
Dube's Net Worth & Brand Endorsements
Shivam Dube's net worth is estimated to be around Rs 28 crore. Dube doesn't really attend too many events and likes to live far away from the glitz and glamour. He has over one million followers on Instagram, and he often endorses brands there. Dube is the face of brands like PariMatch, Spartan, Fast & Up, and recently got associated with TT Garments.
