The awesomeness revolving around the visuals of a towering sixes can never find an alternate substitute. Mumbai's Shivam Dube loves to entertain the masses by following a similar route and the fans at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad were treated by his immaculate striking.

‌The decision to field first worked well initially for Services as Prithvi Shaw's bronze duck was followed by brisk starts from Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer. With Mumbai reeling at 60/3, Suryakumar Yadav was joined by Shivam Dube to propel the Mumbai side to a formidable total. Turns out next, Dube showcased his unreal ball-striking abilities by smacking seven sixes in a 36-ball 71 runs knock to jolt a 111-run stand with Surya and set up 192 runs on the board.

Dube's first six came on a fuller delivery outside the stumps off a spinner that was dispatched over deep mid wicket. The subsequent six came down the long on region before he heaved a couple of sixes against a right-arm off spinner over long off. Be it a finger spinner or a wrist spinner, no one was spared as Dube went berserk against Services hitting five sixes in the V region as Mumbai won by 39 runs.THE SIX-HITTING MACHINE 🤯
