Sunil Gavaskar slams Shivam Dube for expensive 25-run over during LSG vs CSK!

Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants clashed in the IPL yesterday. Lucknow captain KL Rahul, who won the toss, first called on CSK to bat.
Accordingly, Robin Uthappa and Rudraj Kejriwal were the opening batsmen. Ruturaj Gaikwad was run out unexpectedly when he took 1 run. Following this, Robin Uthappa, who was paired with Moeen Ali, came out on top and scored a half-century. Following this, Shivam Dube also took action.
This was followed by Ambati Rayudu (27), skipper Jadeja (17) and wicketkeeper Dhoni (19) so Chennai scored 210 for 7 in 20 overs. Following this, Lucknow won by 211 runs in 19.3 overs. The team's top scorers were De Kock (61), Evin Lewis (55) and captain KL Rahul (40).
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has criticized CSK youngster Sivam Dube. “He has played a fair bit of limited-overs cricket and he is still bowling those length balls. He is going to get punished. Of course, it’s not fair that somebody who has not bowled so far is given the 19th over when the batsmen are looking to play the shots. But look at it… it’s a length ball. He is bowling the slower delivery but a slower delivery is very useful on a turning, dry pitch. Not on a pitch where the ball is coming off the bat quite nicely,” Gavaskar said
Lucknow won the toss and elected to bat. Captain Jadeja then called on all-rounder Shivam Dube for the 19th over. This came as a shock to the fans. That's because he didn't even throw an over until before that in the match. Sivam gave 25 runs in the over including 2 sixes and 2 fours. This marked a turning point in the match and led to CSK's defeat.
