Kapil Dev Vibes From Shivam Dube?

Impact Player Rule: A Missed Opportunity?
Fleming feels Dube is one of those rare players who can excel as an all-rounder. But thanks to the new Impact Player rule, he might not get a full chance to showcase his skills. “It’s a bit of a bummer,” Fleming added.
Dube’s Potential: A Threat On Slow Pitches?
Fleming believes Dube can be a real weapon under the right conditions. On slow pitches, his ability to bowl sharp cutters and slower deliveries could prove very effective.
Dube: A Valuable Asset?
“Shivam Dube can be a crucial player for the team, and he’s put in the yards to get there,” said Fleming. “The key is how they use him. With the Impact Player rule, his role was limited to attacking spinners.”
