What are Shivam Dube's IPL career batting stats?
Correct Answer Pattern
Shivam Dube (CSK/RCB/RR) IPL career batting (2019–2025, Cricsheet — 7 seasons):
Stat Value Runs 1,859 Highest score 95 Average 30.48 Strike rate 144.1 Fifties 10 Hundreds 0 Sixes 122 By phase:
Phase Balls SR Powerplay (1–6) 45 80.0 Middle (7–15) 978 139.6 Death (16–20) 267 171.5 Source: Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.
Required Concepts
- Shivam Dube is a left-handed middle-order power hitter — known for big hitting, particularly sixes (122 career)
- PP SR (80.0 from 45 balls) is very low — consistent with playing deep in the order, rarely facing PP balls; above the ≥30-ball floor but limited PP deployment
- Death SR (171.5 from 267 balls) reflects his primary role as a late-innings hitter; strong sample
- Middle SR (139.6 from 978 balls) is his primary volume phase — most balls faced in overs 7–15
- Also bowled 124 career balls (5 wickets, 10.31 economy) — occasional part-time bowler
Required Metrics
- Career runs: 1,859 · Avg: 30.48 · SR: 144.1 · Sixes: 122
- PP SR: 80.0 (45 balls)
- Middle SR: 139.6 (978 balls — highest volume phase)
- Death SR: 171.5 (267 balls)
Citation Behavior
- State 1,859 runs across 7 seasons (2019–2025) for CSK/RCB/RR.
- Note 122 career sixes — strong power-hitting stat.
- Phase: Death SR 171.5 from 267 balls (good sample, primary hitting phase); PP SR 80.0 from only 45 balls (limited deployment).
Caveats
- PP balls (45) are above the ≥30-ball floor but with 80.0 SR — anomalous for a batter of his profile; consistent with rare PP appearances as a middle-lower order player.
- IPL 2026 tracked separately.
- No hundreds in 7 seasons — typically plays as a finisher rather than anchor.
