Current statusLatest retained source snapshot (accessed 8 November 2026): the ICC profile lists his last match in 2026, while The Indian Express reported his Chennai Super Kings role in IPL 2026 on 1 May 2026. This is a dated research snapshot, not a statement about current selection or future contracts.
The verified profile
Shivam Dube is an Indian left-hand middle-order batter and right-arm medium bowler from Mumbai. His route ran from Mumbai school and domestic cricket to India A, the IPL and India’s white-ball teams. After uneven early IPL and international returns, Chennai Super Kings helped him become a specialist spin-hitter; the public record also shows useful red-ball and limited-overs bowling contributions.
Factual references: Sources 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7How to read the player
Dube’s value is format-shaped rather than evenly distributed across every skill. His size and swing make spin a favourable middle-overs matchup, while his slower-ball options give India a sixth-bowling possibility. The same record explains the qualification: pace, short-ball control and bowling consistency have remained development areas, so his best role is a defined one rather than a generic all-rounder label.

Personal background
ESPNcricinfo identifies Shivam Dube as born on 26 June 1993 in Mumbai and describes him as a six-foot left-hand middle-order batter who bowls right-arm medium. His development ran through Mumbai school cricket, including Hansraj Morarji School's Under-14 Giles Shield team. The public sporting sources used here do not require adding private family or religious details. Question: How old is Shivam Dube? Answer: He was born on 26 June 1993; age is time-dependent, so this biography uses the birth date rather than presenting a permanently current age.
Professional journey
Dube's route began in Mumbai domestic cricket, moved through India A and the IPL, and reached India in 2019. His first IPL seasons with Royal Challengers Bengaluru and then Rajasthan Royals did not establish a settled role. Chennai Super Kings changed that path after the 2022 auction by using him primarily as a middle-overs batter against spin. Question: Which state is Shivam Dube from? Answer: The retained profiles identify Mumbai as his birthplace and domestic cricket base; this biography does not add an unsourced state label. For wider context, readers can compare this route with [Hardik Pandya](https://sportshub4u.com/players/hardik-pandya) or [Glenn Maxwell](https://sportshub4u.com/players/glenn-maxwell) in the existing cricket inventory.
Playing career
The dated ESPNcricinfo statistics snapshot, accessed 8 November 2026, records Dube across international, domestic and franchise formats; the page does not expose a separate statistical update timestamp. His T20I line is 82 matches, 1,178 runs and 40 wickets; his IPL line is 92 matches, 2,129 runs and six wickets. In 2024 he also produced two attacking first-class centuries in Mumbai's Ranji Trophy title run, showing that his career is not only a white-ball story. Question: What are Shivam Dube's stats? Answer: The answer depends on format; this profile lists the scoped T20I, IPL, first-class, List A and T20 figures in the statistics panel rather than combining unlike competitions.
Playing style
Dube's most distinctive tactical value is his ability to attack spin in the middle overs. ESPNcricinfo records 22 IPL 2023 sixes against spin, with 20 arriving in overs 7-16 and a 172.07 strike rate in that phase. His bowling is complementary: slower deliveries, a back-of-the-hand ball and an offcutter can provide short spells, but the same analysis calls bowling a work in progress. This mix explains why a defined spin-hitter and sixth-bowling role suits him better than an undifferentiated all-rounder brief. Question: What is Shivam Dube's highest score? Answer: The cited career table lists 121 not out in first-class cricket, 118 in List A, 95 not out in T20s including the IPL aggregate, and 66 in T20Is; those are different formats and are not interchangeable.
Setbacks and comebacks
The early international phase was brief: ESPNcricinfo reports that after his 2019 India debut, Dube returned quickly to the domestic circuit because he had not made a strong enough impression with bat or ball. His later CSK role was a practical reset rather than a claim that every weakness disappeared. The 2024 Afghanistan series showed a sharper middle-overs batting function, and The Indian Express report published 1 May 2026 records another adjustment as CSK prepared him for more finishing work. The sources support a career of role refinement, not a medical comeback narrative.
Post-playing work
The retained evidence does not establish a retirement or post-playing role; the latest snapshot is dated rather than a live-status claim. The ICC profile lists his last match in 2026, ESPNcricinfo's statistics page labels his international span 2019-2026, and The Indian Express report published 1 May 2026 places him with CSK in IPL 2026. No coaching, commentary, foundation or retirement role is asserted. Question: What is Shivam Dube's IPL team? Answer: The cited career sources identify Chennai Super Kings as his IPL team from 2022 onward and The Indian Express reports his CSK role in the 2026 season; future contracts are not predicted.
Public ventures
The reviewed governing-body, statistics and established sports-reporting sources document Dube's sporting career but do not establish a separate public business venture, endorsement portfolio or ownership claim that is necessary to this biography. Salary and net-worth estimates are therefore omitted. That is a sourcing boundary, not a claim that no private commercial activity exists.
