Shivam Dube, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter, has become the subject of viral memes after getting out for a second consecutive golden duck in the IPL 2024 on May 5, following his selection in India’s T20 World Cup squad.
Shivam Dube, who plays for the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, has been the talk of the town and a subject of various memes after getting out without scoring any runs in matches held on May 1 and May 5, right after he was picked to play for India in the T20 World Cup.
People find it funny because Dube is known for hitting big shots, especially against the Spin Bowlers, which is why he was chosen for the Worlf Cup Team prior to the IPL. But sincere was picked on April 30; he has had a tough time with spin bowling and that led to his two consecutive ducks in two matches.

Due to this, lots of jokes and funny pictures about him have spread online, showing how cricket can be full of surprises and the pressure under which players are during a tournament. Even though Dube has had a couple of bad games, he has actually done well in the IPL, scoring 350 runs in 11 games, which includes three times when he scored more than fifty runs.
Fans are hoping that he will come back to playing well soon, especially with the World Cup T20 coming up shortly.
