Shivam Dube is an all-rounder but he is known more for his batting and so when he was replaced by Harshit Rana as concussion substitute in the fourth T20I, England camp was not happy. They considered it as an unfair act and Jos Buttler during the toss for 5th T20I, sarcastically mentioned impact substitutes for the game.

The Indian all-rounder though has made sure that he shuts down those remarks at the Wankhede. Dube smashed 30 off just 13 balls with the bat, but the real answer came in the second half when he came out to bowl in the eighth over. The right-arm medium pacer removed the dangerous and well-set Phil Salt on a very first ball and it was a fitting answer to the English critics.

India Dominate At Wankhede With All-Round Performance

It was a length delivery, outside off and Phil Salt tried to hit the ball out of the ground straightaway. He went for a wild slog, but all he could manage was an outside edge and the wicketkeeper Dhurv Jurel took an easy catch behind the stumps.

Shivam Dube did not stop there and cleaned up Jacob Bethell on 10 to leave England reeling at 90-8 in a massive run-chase of 248. He has proved that he can deliver with the ball as well and India managed to win the game by a massive margin of 150 runs.

In the first half, Abhishek Sharma was the show-stopper as he hammered 135 off just 54 balls and smashed 13 sixes in one of the finest knocks in T20Is. India have ended the series with a margin of 4-1, continuing their winning run under Suryakumar Yadav.
