Team India has entered the Super-8 of T20 World Cup 2024. India has scored a hat-trick of victories by winning all the matches so far in the group stage. However, it was not so easy, as the host USA gave a tough time to Team India at the Nassau Cricket Stadium.

Batting first, USA had set a target of 111 runs. It took India 19 overs to reach the target. There was a time when victory seemed far away from Rohit Sharma's team. In this difficult situation, a player who nobody expected anything from crossed the threshold of victory.

This player became the troubleshooter of Team India

• In terms of batting, Team India has been finding its rhythm in the T20 World Cup 2024 so far.
• If we remove only Rishabh Pant from this list, then every batsman has been seen struggling on the American pitch.
• Something similar was seen in the match against USA, where Virat Kohli was out without opening his account and Rohit Sharma was able to score only 3 runs.
• Rishabh Pant got a good start but he too could score only 18 runs in 20 balls.
• India had lost 3 main batsmen at the score of 44. Then Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube made a partnership and helped India cross the threshold of victory.

T20 World Cup 2024: Led India to victory with Surya

• Considering his experience, it was natural for Suryakumar Yadav to perform well in this match.
• But Shivam Dubey's match-winning performance was beyond expectations because he had not looked comfortable on the slow pitch of America till now.
• He did not get a chance to open his account against Ireland and could score only 3 runs against Pakistan.
• But against America, Shivam Dubey played a brilliant innings of 31 runs in 35 balls.
• He shared a 67-run partnership with Suryakumar Yadav, this innings must have brought back his lost confidence. Also, this is good news for Team India.

T20 World Cup 2024: There were questions on the place of Shivam Dubey

• Shivam Dubey has secured his place in the playing XI with an inning of 31 runs.
• Because till now, due to his flop performance, questions were being raised about his place.
• There was also news that Rinku Singh could be given a place in the main-15 from among the additional reserved players, for which a left-handed batsman would be sacrificed first.
• However, now Shivam Dubey is sure to play in the T20 World Cup 2024. Also, it is expected that his performance will be good against Canada on June 15 and in the West Indies.
