However, there is unfortunate news for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as one of their star players may miss a big tournament due to injury.
Injury problem for CSK's star player!
In domestic cricket, Team India and Mumbai's star all-rounder Shivam Dubey has been injured during the Ranji Trophy, the major domestic tournament of Indian cricket. If reports are to be believed, Dubey may be out of the remaining Ranji Trophy matches due to side strain. Mumbai is set to play important quarter-final matches starting on February 23 and an official announcement regarding Dubey's availability for these important matches is awaited.
Shivam Dubey's extraordinary form
Shivam Dubey has been in great form recently. In the current Ranji Trophy season, he has scored 407 runs in five matches at an impressive average of 67.83, which includes two centuries and as many half-centuries. Not only with the bat, Dubey has also left his mark with the ball and has taken 12 wickets in a single tournament. His all-round performance has been remarkable, making a significant contribution to Mumbai's campaign.
Major players of CSK
Dubey played an important role in the victory of Chennai Super Kings in the IPL last year. In the 2023 season, he scored 418 runs in 16 matches at an average of 38.00, including three half-centuries. His all-round ability makes him an important player for CSK and his absence due to injury could be a blow to the team.
