Shivam Dube Stats and IPL Betting Profile 2026

Who Is Shivam Dube and What Are His Betting Stats?

Shivam Dube is a left-handed batting all-rounder who plays for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL and has become a regular in India’s T20I squad as a power-hitting middle-order option. Standing at 6’1″ with the ability to clear any boundary in the world, Dube is one of the most dangerous hitters in Indian cricket when he connects cleanly. In IPL, he’s scored over 2,000 runs with a strike rate above 130 and has been particularly effective in the death overs where his six-hitting ability turns tight games. He also bowls medium pace, giving CSK a useful 1-2 overs of seam options in the middle phase. For bettors, Dube’s profile is built around boundary-hitting props (sixes in a match, boundaries in an innings), death over scoring, and all-rounder performance markets. His role at CSK under MS Dhoni’s guidance has turned him from an inconsistent talent into one of the most reliable finishers in the tournament, which means his betting value has shifted from high-risk speculative plays to more structured wagers.

Shivam Dube Career Statistics

Dube’s numbers are best understood through his role. He’s not a top-order accumulator who racks up big totals. He’s a finisher and power-hitter who comes in during the last 8-10 overs and changes the momentum with clean striking.

International Career

His T20I strike rate above 135 is the number bettors should focus on. In the middle and death overs, that number goes even higher. Dube’s job for India in T20Is is the same as his job for CSK: come in between overs 12-15, settle for a few balls, then unleash in the death overs. His T20I fifty against Afghanistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup showed he can handle high-pressure situations on the biggest stages.

The bowling is a bonus rather than a main skill. He bowls medium pace at around 125-130 kph, which isn’t going to trouble top batters consistently, but his left-arm angle creates variety and he can get wickets from batters trying to hit him for boundaries. In betting terms, his bowling occasionally contributes to all-rounder performance markets but shouldn’t be the primary reason you bet on him.

IPL Career (Chennai Super Kings)

The sixes column is where Dube’s betting value jumps off the page. Over 90 sixes in 75+ IPL matches means he averages more than one six per game. For boundary-hitting prop markets (total sixes in a match, batsman to hit 2+ sixes), this makes him one of the most reliable targets in the entire IPL. His left-handed batting also means he hits sixes to areas of the ground that right-handers don’t access, which can catch bowling teams off guard when they set fields for the dominant hand.

The move from RCB to CSK was a career-defining moment. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, Dube went from an inconsistent talent with raw power to a structured finisher who knows his role. CSK’s system gives him a clear batting slot (usually 5 or 6), sends him in at a specific point in the innings, and trusts him to deliver in the death overs. That clarity has made his IPL output more predictable, which is exactly what bettors want from a player they’re putting money on. Our IPL 2026 guide covers how team systems affect individual player value.

Shivam Dube IPL 2026 Profile

Dube enters IPL 2026 in his prime years as a power-hitter. At 27, he’s physically at his peak, which matters for a player whose primary value is ball-striking power. The next 2-3 IPL seasons are likely his best.

Home ground: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Chepauk is traditionally spin-friendly and slower than most IPL venues. This actually works in Dube’s favor in a specific way: because the pitch is slower, opposition bowling attacks rely more on spin and slower balls in the death overs. Dube’s ability to clear the boundary against spin, using his reach and power to hit over the top, makes him particularly effective when bowlers try to slow things down. Against pace on flat pitches, most power-hitters thrive. Against spin on slow pitches, only the best ones do. Dube is one of them.

The Dhoni effect. Even in CSK’s post-Dhoni era, the systems Dhoni built remain. Dube’s role is defined and stable: bat at 5 or 6, don’t try to be clever, back your power to clear boundaries in the last 5-6 overs. This simplicity of role means his output is more predictable than power-hitters on teams with less structure. Predictability is a bettor’s friend because it makes the odds easier to assess accurately.

Death over specialist. Dube’s IPL strike rate in overs 16-20 is above 155. That’s elite territory for any batter. In the death overs, bowlers are under pressure, fields are spread, and a batter with Dube’s power can score 30+ runs in the last 3 overs alone. For session betting on death over totals, Dube’s presence in the CSK lineup pushes the expected total higher when he’s at the crease during that phase.

Betting Markets Featuring Shivam Dube

Sixes props (batsman to hit X+ sixes). This is Dube’s signature betting market. “Dube to hit 2+ sixes in the match” is available on most exchanges during IPL games. With 90+ career IPL sixes in 75+ matches, the probability is solidly in favor of the over. The odds for 2+ sixes typically sit around 2.00-2.50, which is a decent return for a high-probability outcome. Against spin-heavy attacks at Chepauk, the probability goes up further because Dube targets spin bowlers for his biggest hits.

Death over runs (session betting). CSK’s death over totals are influenced heavily by whether Dube is batting during that phase. If CSK has wickets in hand and Dube comes in by over 14-15, the death over session total is likely to be higher than the pre-match line. You can combine live session betting with the knowledge of who’s at the crease. When you see Dube walking out at 14.3 overs, that’s your signal to check the death over runs market. Our exchange betting ID guide explains live session betting mechanics.

Player runs over/under. The line for Dube usually sits at 18.5-22.5, which is lower than top-order batters because he faces fewer balls. The over hits when he connects cleanly in the death overs (30+ off 15 balls is his standard good day). The under hits when he gets out early or CSK collapses before he gets a proper innings. Track the match situation: if CSK’s top order sets a solid base, Dube gets more time at the crease, pushing the over.

All-rounder performance. If Dube takes a wicket with his bowling AND scores 20+ runs, some exchanges pay out at 4.00-6.00 odds. It’s not a high-probability outcome, but over a 14-match season, it’s worth a small bet in every game for the cumulative expected value. His bowling might only get 1-2 overs per match, but left-arm medium pace occasionally picks up a wicket from a miscued shot.

How to Bet on Dube’s Performance

Dube requires a finisher-specific betting approach. He’s not going to win you money on top batsman bets most days because he bats too low in the order. His value is in the specialized markets that reward his unique strengths.

Focus on sixes and boundaries. This is the clearest edge. Dube’s six-hitting rate is one of the highest in IPL history for his batting position. “2+ sixes” bets at 2.00-2.50 odds are close to even money for a player who hits more than 1 six per match on average. Over 14 CSK group stage games, this bet alone can generate a steady return if you size it properly.

Use live session betting. Don’t pre-commit to Dube bets before the match. Watch how the innings unfolds. If CSK is 120/2 after 15 overs with Dube at the crease, the death over session is your play. The live market will already be adjusting, but if Dube has just arrived and the market hasn’t fully priced his death-over strike rate, there’s a window. Our cricket ID vs exchange ID guide explains how live betting on exchanges works.

Skip matches where CSK collapses. If CSK is 50/4 in the 10th over, Dube is likely batting under extreme pressure to save the innings rather than attack. His value drops significantly in rebuild situations because his game is built around freedom to hit, not careful accumulation. In these games, avoid Dube-specific bets entirely. Our self-deposit ID page explains how to keep funds flexible so you can bet selectively rather than forcing action every match.

Shivam Dube Key Records

• 5 sixes in a single IPL over (one of the rare instances of 5 sixes in an over by an Indian batter in IPL history)
• India T20 World Cup 2024 squad member, selected specifically as a left-handed power-hitting option
• 90+ IPL sixes in 75+ matches, averaging more than 1 six per game across his career
• Strike rate above 155 in death overs (16-20) across his CSK tenure, elite among Indian batters
• One of the highest prices for an Indian all-rounder in IPL auction history

The 5 sixes in an over record is the kind of outlier event that shows Dube’s ceiling. On his day, he can single-handedly win a match in 10 balls. The death over strike rate above 155 is the more reliable indicator though. That number across multiple seasons shows this isn’t a one-off. Dube is genuinely one of the best death-over batters in the IPL, and the betting markets for sixes and session runs reflect that ability. Our complete betting guide covers how to identify and exploit this kind of edge over a full tournament.
