In the T20I series between India and England, Shivam Dube made history by becoming the first cricketer to win 30 consecutive matches in T20Is. His achievement came after India’s impressive 150-run victory in the fifth T20I at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on February 2, 2025. Dube’s all-round performance played a key role in this win.
Batting aggressively, he scored a quickfire 30 runs off 13 balls, helping India post a formidable total of 247/9. Later, he contributed with the ball, removing England’s Phil Salt and Jacob Bethell. Dube was initially not part of the Indian squad for the series but was called up as a replacement for Nitish Kumar Reddy. He made an immediate impact in the fourth game, scoring a crucial half-century under pressure.
His 30th consecutive win with India in T20Is solidifies his reputation as a match-winner. Dube made his T20I debut in November 2019, and since then, India has remained unbeaten whenever he has played. His milestone was celebrated by Chennai Super Kings, highlighting his flawless record of 30-0 in T20I matches.
