Young Shivam Dube and veteran Robin Uthappa conquered RCB Bowlers IPL 2022

What a night for CSK, they have registered their first win after losing 4 consecutive games in IPL 2022. Shivam Dube and Robin Uthappa crushed all the bowlers of RCB they were clueless last night. Many cricket experts write off CSK before this game but come back kings showed why they are defending champions and what they are capable of. The incredible hitting of Dube & Uthappa’s 165-run stand powered them to 216. This season Dube has been the most consistent performer for CSK. When he was in RCB & RR his performance was not that promising, but in CSK he is literally demolishing every opponent with the bat.

Ravindra Jadeja ” First of all, this is the first victory as a captain ever. I would like to dedicate to my wife and also the team because first victory is always special. Previous four games, we couldn’t cross the line. But as a team, we came good. As a batting unit, everybody did a good job. Robbie and Shivam batted brilliantly. The bowlers contributed with the ball as well. Our management don’t put pressure on me, they are relaxed, they always come to me and motivate. As a captain, I am still picking brains of the senior players. Mahi bhai is there, I always go to him and discuss. Moulding into a new role, it’ll take time to get things going. I am still learning and trying to get better with each game. We have plenty of experience in our dressing room. Experience comes into play, we don’t panic early. We try to keep ourselves calm, we back ourselves and we look to play positive cricket. We’ll look to push hard, we’ve got the momentum, we’ll try and continue the momentum.”

Shivam Dube, Player of the Match: “We were looking for the first win and I am really happy that I contributed for the team. It’s a honour for me. I am more focused this time and focusing on basics. I spoke to many seniors – Mahi bhai also helped me to improve the game. He said, ‘Just be focused, just be still, just let the skill work in the game.’ I wanted to time the ball really well. I tried to maintain by balance. Yuvi pa is always a role model for a left-hander. Many people told me that I bat like him. As the situation demands, as the captain and coach tell me, I am ready to bat anywhere”
