Watch : Shivam Dube breaks multiple records with a 15 ball half century

In the fourth T20I between New Zealand and India at Vizag the crowd witnessed some special hitting from Shivam Dube. New Zealand set a target of 216 and India were in all sorts of trouble having lost four wickets for 73 runs. He started off with a boundary and kept going. Shivam Dube walked in at a tricky stage and went all guns blazing to smash his way to a 15-ball fifty. Shivam Dube hit Jacob Duffy for a six over deep backward square-leg off a full toss to complete his half-century of just 15 balls. Watch the celebration here:

In the 12th over of the chase Shivam Dube smashed three sixes and two fours to Ish Sodhi as India made a comeback. 29 runs came off an Ish Sodhi over where Dube hit 28 and one was a wide. Out of his first 54 runs, 49

of those runs came on the leg-side showing his preferred area. He completed his half century in just 15 balls which is the third fastest by an Indian in T20Is. Abhishek Sharma and Yuvraj Singh are the only players to score faster than him. Dube has conceded the most runs in single over against New Zealand when he gave away 34 runs in a match in 2020 and today he scored the most runs by an Indian batter in a single against New Zealand.
