Shivam Dube got wicket after 2 years: The dominance of Indian bowlers was seen in the first ODI against England at the Edgbaston ground in Birmingham. With this match, all-rounder Shivam Dubey made a brilliant comeback in ODI cricket after 2 years. Dubey took the second wicket of his ODI career by dismissing Will Jacques in the 22nd over. The biggest contribution to this success was the miraculous one-handed catch of wicketkeeper KL Rahul, who dived like a leopard in the air and pushed England on the backfoot.

New Delhi. Edgbaston ground in Birmingham and the first ODI match between India and England. This match will be discussed in the corridors of cricket for a long time. Although cricket is a game of uncertainties, but when speed, agility and magical moments come together in this game, then it becomes history. In this match, the Indian bowlers forced the host batsmen to kneel with their precise line and length on English soil. But in this entire match, if any one moment took the breath of the fans, it was the ‘Superman’ avatar of KL Rahul behind the wicket and the explosive return of all-rounder Shivam Dubey on the international stage.
It is never easy to make a place in the team and prove yourself as an all-rounder. The responsibility was big on the shoulders of Shivam Dube, because for the first time after August 2024, he came to bowl in the 50 over format in the blue jersey. If we look at the graph of his ODI career, he had only one wicket in his name in the 4 matches played before this match, which he achieved by dismissing Kusal Mendis against Sri Lanka in August 2024. A long wait of two years and the pressure of returning can trouble any player, but Shivam Dubey had entered the field at Edgbaston with a different intention.
