Shivam Dube receives bashing on social media

Shivam Dube gave optimistic signs when he hit a six on Noor Ahmed in between long on and long off. However, soon he got deceived by Rashid Khan's crafty variation.

Following his dismissal, the reactions on social media began to fall instantly. Fans are unanimously not happy with Shivam Dube's performance and call his selection as a failure on the part of BCCI. Here are a few of the many reactions.
