Rajasthan Royals’ all-rounder Shivam Dube continued his IPL form in club cricket, helping Karnatak Sporting Association (KSA) beat Bhatnagar Sports and Cultural Foundation (BSCF) by 66 runs in their last league match of the Padmakar Talim Shield at the Sachin Tendulkar Gymkhana in Kandivli on Friday.

Dube’s 41-ball 69 (7x4, 4x6) and Ramanpreet Singh’s 51 (7x4, 1x6) helped KSA post 200-7 in the allotted 20 overs. In reply, BSCF were bowled out for 134 in 19.1 overs thanks to some disciplined bowling by medium pacers Dube (3-21), Aishwarya Surve (2-11) and left-arm spinner Vinayak Bhoir (2-20). Dube, 28, is currently working on improving his pace and variation and believes that club cricket is the best place to do so. However, he is not satisfied with his performance at IPL-14, where he scored 230 runs in nine games.
