In a recent critique, former Team India opener Kris Srikkanth expressed disappointment in the performances of Shivam Dube and Dewald Brevis during IPL 2026. Dube, who batted against the Gujarat Titans (GT) on April 26, managed only 22 runs off 17 balls, failing to capitalize on a promising partnership with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. Srikkanth noted that Dube has scored just 150 runs across eight innings, averaging 30 and striking at 140.18. He emphasized that Dube has not made a significant impact in the IPL for two years, despite performing well in international cricket. Similarly, Brevis, who was hailed as a rising star last season, has struggled this year, accumulating only 64 runs at an average of 16 in five matches. Srikkanth's comments highlight the growing concerns over CSK's batting lineup, which has contributed to their lackluster record of three wins in eight matches this season.
