Shivam Dubey hit a vicious six which disappeared off the ground during the fourth T20I between India and Australia at the Carrara Oval in Queensland on Thursday (November 6).
The moment came when Rinku Singh delivered a message from Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir and Shivam Dubey responded in the most explosive manner.

Australian star spinner Adam Zampa bowled a ball outside, but Shivam Dubey was ready. The Indian all-rounder stepped onto the track and displayed his strength as he lofted the ball over long-on and went completely out of sight at the Carrara Oval.

The blow was so powerful that the ball went out of the field, forcing the umpires to bowl a new ball. This shot perfectly reflects Dubey’s fearless approach and his reputation as one of India’s best hitters against spin.

Earlier, Shivam Dubey got a surprise promotion in the batting order during the fourth T20 match between India and Australia on Thursday. After batting at No. 8 in the last two matches, the left-handed batsman was moved to No. 3 this time to give him more time in the middle.
However, the move did not work out as planned. Dubey started cautiously, taking time to find his rhythm. Apart from hitting a six off Adam Zampa, he struggled to clear the ball. His innings ended at 22 runs off 18 balls at a strike rate of 122 when Nathan Ellis bowled him with a clever delivery.

Ellis aimed for the leg-stump line, and Dubey missed trying to play across, resulting in the ball hitting the stumps. It was a disappointing performance for Dubey, who could not make the most of the promotion despite expectations of the team’s quick and powerful start against Australia.
India’s score is 167/8, Shubman Gill leads with 46 runs; Great start for Australia in the fourth T20
Meanwhile, India scored 167 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs. Vice-captain Shubman Gill remained the top scorer with a consistent 46, showing glimpses of his old touch before falling to a clever slower ball from Nathan Ellis. Young opener Abhishek Sharma contributed 28 runs, while Shivam Dubey added 22 runs.
Axar Patel’s quickfire 21 and captain Suryakumar Yadav’s 20 helped India cross 160, but the team could not finish strongly. Australia’s bowling attack was led by Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa, who took three wickets each and broke India’s momentum in the final overs.
Australia started their chase brilliantly in the fourth T20 match against India in Queensland. Chasing 168, the hosts scored 35 runs without loss in just four overs thanks to a fast start from captain Mitchell Marsh and Matt Short. Australian opening batsmen have been adopting an aggressive stance against the Indian bowlers from the very first over. At present the five-match T20 series is tied at 1-1.
