‘Morne has helped me a lot’: Shivam Dube reveals role of Morkel’s ‘small small tips’ in improving his bowling

‘Morne has helped me a lot’: Shivam Dube on Morkel’s Guidance in Improving His Bowling

Shivam Dube played a key role in India’s 48-run win against Australia in the fourth T20I at the Carrara Oval on the Gold Coast. Despite conceding 20 runs in two overs, he dismissed both Mitchell Marsh and Tim David — two of Australia’s most dangerous hitters — after the visitors were limited to 167/8.

The Indian all-rounder credited captain Suryakumar Yadav, head coach Gautam Gambhir, and bowling coach Morne Morkel for helping him prepare an effective bowling plan ahead of the match.

“When I got the chance I knew that I had to bowl, especially Morne, Gauti bhai and Surya prepared a good plan for me. He gave some small, small tips which made my bowling better,” said Dube after the match.

Dube also mentioned that Morkel’s experience of playing 18 international matches in Australia made his advice particularly valuable for adapting to local conditions. The team’s confidence in setting a challenging total added to their strong performance on the field.
