Shivam Dube has become a key player in the CSK camp. His batting performances in the ongoing IPL season to date are terrific. He is ensuring that CSK achieves big scores as he provides stability in the middle overs with the ability to charge the bowlers with an impressive strike rate, making him an asset to the Chennai franchise.
Dube has played four matches in the ongoing IPL. He has scored 148 runs with an impressive average of 49.33, and on top of that, he has a stellar strike rate of 160.86. Let’s take a look at Dube’s IPL 2024 stats against the teams he has played so far.

Not getting enough batting partners!
On the one hand, Shivam Dube is the most successful batter for CSK this season to date, but the lack of consistent batting partners at the other end is causing trouble as CSK is struggling to stamp big targets. Batters like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, and Darren Mitchell are all struggling with their batting form.

Shivam Dube VS other CSK Batters
| Players | Matches | Runs | Strike Rate |
| Shivam Dube | 4 | 148 | 160.86 |
| Ajinkaya Rahane | 4 | 119 | 130.77 |
| Ruturaj Gaikwad | 4 | 88 | 118.92 |

Except for Dube, CSK’s top-order batters have failed to make a mark to date. Their new leader, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is their regular opener along with Rachin Ravindra, has consistently failed to capitalize on the six-over powerplay.
On the other hand, batters like Darren Mitchell, who received a big paycheck from the franchise, are also struggling with runs in the middle overs. He is known for his big hits, but his strike rate of 124 is not showing any promising signs.
Although Rachin Ravindra is providing starts in the powerplay, he consistently fails to construct big innings. It looks that Dube is the lone warrior for them in this IPL season so far, consistently making runs for CSK with an impressive batting strike rate. Not having solid batters at the other end is a concern that CSK should address if they want to succeed in the upcoming matches.
