Chennai Super Kings: Big-hitting all-rounder Shivam Dube, who was the top-scorer for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their 63-run win over Gujarat Titans (GT) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday, felt that left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore didn’t expect him to hit a six on the very first ball from him.

Dube smashed two fours and five sixes in a 23-ball 51 coming at a whopping strike rate of 221.74. His striking innings began by smashing Sai Kishore for consecutive sixes off the first two balls of his innings, which set the tone for him neutralizing GT’s bowlers to good effect.

"This match we won by a big margin, it is really amazing for us. So back-to-back wins especially the third win against Gujarat. So, feels good to beat them again. As I know, I'm much stronger against the spinners and I've played Sai Kishore in the past as well.
