Shivam Dube acknowledged India's recent dip in T20I form after consecutive series defeats to Ireland and England but expressed confidence the team will soon bounce back. Ahead of the first T20I against Zimbabwe in Harare, Dube said India are fully prepared despite late arrivals and praised Zimbabwe's steady improvement in international cricket.
Harare: India’s seam-bowling all-rounder Shivam Dube has admitted that there has been a dip in the T20I team’s recent performances but expressed confidence that the side will quickly turn the corner and regain its form.
India, the reigning T20 World Cup champions, are yet to register a victory since successfully defending their title at home earlier this year. Under new skipper Shreyas Iyer, India have suffered 2-0 and 4-0 losses to Ireland and England.
India will be aiming to break the losing run when they take on Zimbabwe in the first T20I at the Harare Sports Club on Thursday, where Dube is expected to share bowling duties with an inexperienced pace-bowling group of Prince Yadav, Mayank Yadav and debutant Ashok Sharma.
"It's like there was a very high going for our team before the World Cup and even during the World Cup. Definitely the dip is there, but I think as soon as we stop the dip, we will go again on the higher side," Dube told broadcasters in a pre-match chat.
