Dubey Credits Morne For Improvement
Shivam Dubey said after the match that Morne has been working with me ever since I returned to the Indian team for the England series. He has given me some special advice and I have implemented them. He asked me to bowl a line slightly outside the off stump. He also worked with me on bowling slow balls and also made some changes in my run-up. The head coach and captain had told me that my bowling role would be important.
UAE batsmen could not stay in the match
Kuldeep Yadav and Shivam Dubey proved to be the biggest heroes in the match against UAE. These two players destroyed the batting of UAE and their batsmen were in vain. Kuldeep took four wickets. Shivam took three wickets. It was because of these two bowlers that the UAE team was bowled out for just 57 runs.
