In the fourth T20I between India and New Zealand at Visakhapatnam, which Indian batter scored a marauding 65 runs off just 23 balls including 7 sixes?
Shivam DubeShivam Dube scored a spectacular 65 runs off just 23 balls (including 3 fours and 7 sixes) in the fourth T20I against New Zealand at Visakhapatnam's ACA-VDCA Stadium. Despite his explosive innings that included a sequence of 4, 6, 4, 6, 6 off Ish Sodhi's third over, India fell short by 50 runs while chasing 216. Dube brought up his fifty in just 15 balls with a six over square leg off Jacob Duffy. His partnership of 63 runs for the sixth wicket with Harshit Rana (who contributed only 4 runs) briefly raised hopes of an Indian comeback. However, Dube's dismissal when Rana's drive deflected off Matt Henry's hand to shatter the non-striker's stumps effectively ended India's chase, with the hosts finishing at 165 all out.
