Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faces a major setback as star all-rounder Shivam Dube suffers a bilateral side strain, ruling him out of the remainder of the Ranji Trophy 2024. The injury occurred during Mumbai’s match against Assam, where Dube scored an impressive 121 not out but sustained a grade one tear.
Despite the setback, Dube has been a standout performer in the Ranji Trophy, accumulating 407 runs and taking 12 wickets in five matches. The injury comes ahead of Mumbai’s quarterfinal against Baroda on February 23, raising questions about his replacement.
Teenage all-rounder Musheer Khan, a standout player in the U19 World Cup 2024, emerges as a potential replacement for Dube. Mumbai’s success in the tournament will miss the crucial contributions of the CSK star in his absence.
Dube’s resurgence in the Ranji Trophy has been remarkable, showcasing his talent with bat and ball. As fans await updates on his recovery, Mumbai and CSK hope for a swift return to full fitness for the upcoming IPL 2024 and T20 World Cup. However, there is no official confirmation on the severity of the injury or his IPL availability from the CSK camp.
