From CricArcade's IPL records, 2019 to 2026 · Sources

Shivam Dube, a batter, has played eight IPL seasons for three franchises. One title came along the way.

The arrival

Shivam Dube arrived through the auction: Royal Challengers Bangalore paid ₹5 cr, against a base price of ₹20 lakh.

That first season brought 4 matches and 40 runs. The best was still to come.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2023, for Chennai Super Kings: 418 runs at an average of 38.0, striking at 158.3 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 141.9, with 3 fifties, and a highest score of 52. Chennai Super Kings won the title that year.

Measured against the league around it, though, the most destructive season was 2022: 289 runs at a strike rate of 156.2, 22 runs per hundred balls quicker than the IPL as a whole that year.

Franchise by franchise

2019 to 2020, Royal Challengers Bangalore. Bought at the 2019 auction for ₹5 cr. 15 matches, 169 runs and 4 wickets.

2021, Rajasthan Royals. Bought at the 2021 auction for ₹4.40 cr. 9 matches and 230 runs.

2022 to 2026, Chennai Super Kings. Bought at the 2022 auction for ₹4 cr. 68 matches, 1,730 runs and 2 wickets; champions in 2023.

3 spells with three franchises in all. The longest was with Chennai Super Kings, 2022 to 2026.

Bat, ball and method

Across the career, Shivam Dube has struck at 145.4. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 143.2, so the scoring rate has tracked the league's almost exactly. 63% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 132 fours and 137 sixes.

The ball-by-ball record adds the detail. 34.4% of the balls Shivam Dube faced were dot balls, a lower share than 64% of the 140 batters who have faced 500 balls or more in the IPL. A six came every 10.7 balls, the 13th-best rate in that group, and a four every 11.1.

With the ball, 6 wickets in 154 deliveries, at 10.79 runs an over against a league rate of 8.57 for the same seasons: 2.22 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time.

The fielding record: 27 catches.

At the auction

Shivam Dube has gone under the hammer three times. The highest price was ₹5 cr, paid by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2019, more than 25 times the base price.

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.

Where it stands

Shivam Dube has made 92 IPL appearances, the latest for Chennai Super Kings in 2026, and has won 2 player-of-the-match awards.
