IPL 2024: Dube stars in CSK’s clinical win over Titans
Going by stats, Dube has struck 57 sixes since IPL 2022, to match Andre Russell and Liam Livingstone during this period. On top is Jos Buttler with 59.
It will be a battle of two former teammates, Virender Sehwag and Anil Kumble, for a much-valued job of India’s head coach, if the sources at the BCCI are to be believed.
Since Kumble’s replacement looks imminent, sources say Sehwag is the front-runner for the job.
A BCCI source said the name of former India opener Sehwag was a surprise among applicants like Tom Moody, Lalchand Rajput, Doda Ganesh, Richard Pybus and Kumble.

Kumble was named as India coach in June last year and since then the team has witnessed as many as five series wins.
However, a rant has recently been reported inside the dressing room. Virat Kohli and his boys seem to be unhappy with the way Kumble deals with national cricketers.
Also, Sehwag has to his credit some of the most astonishing batting records, no less worthy than what Kumble achieved with the ball, sporting India colours. Besides that, he has coached the Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League that might help him bag the prestigious job.
