Shivam Dube warms up in some fashion.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Shivam Dube is warming up for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in some fashion.
A six from Shivam Dube during a practice session at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium left a dent at the venue.
“Aaruchamy #WhistlePodu #Yellove,” Chennai Super Kings captioned for their post showing Dube’s reaction after hitting the six.

Chennai Super Kings will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chepauk on Friday (March 28). The five-time champions, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, are coming on the back of a four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in their season opener, which was also played in Chennai. Shivam Dube scored nine runs off seven balls, including a maximum. He was dismissed by Vignesh Puthur in the 10th over.
RCB, on the other hand, are being led by their new skipper Rajat Patidar. The three-time finalists defeated defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2025 opener at the Eden Gardens by seven wickets. Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 59 while opener Philip Salt (56) also scored a half-century.
Shivam Dube’s IPL career began in 2019 when he made his debut for RCB against CSK in Chennai. He scored just two runs while his bowling figures read 0/3 from 0.4 overs. He played for RCB in IPL 2020 as well, but managed to score just 129 runs from 11 matches while also taking four wickets.
