‘India should go past managing Shivam Dube…’: Varun Aaron

Former Indian cricketer Varun Aaron suggested that India should look beyond managing Shivam Dube in recent T20Is. Dube, who was selected in place of Hardik Pandya, recently struggled when batting at number three, conceding 30 runs off just two overs and scoring 7 runs off 10 balls. Aaron argued that Dube, despite his experience, needs to step up his bowling game.

Aaron also praised Dube's performance with the ball in the final of the Asia Cup 2025, where he impressed with both pace and accuracy. He noted that India has shown great faith in Dube, who is currently India's No. 1 all-rounder in T20Is when Hardik Pandya is not available. Aaron further suggested that Nitish Kumar Reddy and Prince Yadav should be given more opportunities in the team, especially considering Reddy's potential to feature in the final two T20Is of the series.
