Team India all-rounder Shivam Dube suffered a major injury scare during a practice session ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026 match against Zimbabwe. The left-handed batter appeared to hurt his hand while catching the ball, leaving fans worried about his fitness for the remainder of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Dube has been an important player for India in the ongoing T20 World Cup. The Men in Blue rely heavily on his big-hitting ability in the middle order and his handy medium-pace bowling. The team management will hope he is fully fit for the upcoming matches against Zimbabwe and the West Indies.<\/p>\n

A fan recorded a video from the stadium showing the Indian team practising under the floodlights. In the short clip, Shivam Dube is seen taking part in a fielding drill. He failed to catch the ball and appeared to hurt his hand. Dube immediately grabbed his right hand in pain.<\/p>\n

He looked very uncomfortable and slowly walked away from his fielding position to take a break. He kept shaking his hand, showing clear signs of discomfort, while other players continued their batting practice in the nets in the background.<\/p>\n

The cricket board has not released any official statement about his fitness yet, but fans are hoping that Dube\u2019s hand injury is minor and nothing serious.<\/p>\n

Shivam Dube, bro please practice a little carefully. You are the only one batsaman performing well in the team right now. If you also get injured, Team India will be in big trouble. pic.twitter.com\/8qhAhL6dnN<\/a><\/p>\n

Shivam Dube Key All-Rounder for India in T20 World Cup 2026<\/h2>\n

Shivam Dube has been one of India\u2019s key performers in the T20 World Cup 2026. He has scored 158 runs from five matches at an average of 31.60 and a strike rate of 154.90, including one half-century. The left-handed batter is India\u2019s third-highest run-scorer so far.<\/p>\n

His best effort came in the group stage against the Netherlands, where he played a match-winning knock of 66 not out. In India\u2019s Super 8 loss to South Africa, Dube scored 42 runs off 37 balls.<\/p>\n

Dube has also contributed with the ball, picking up four wickets from three innings. India will face Zimbabwe in their next Super 8 match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday, February 26.<\/p>\n

What Is India\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026 Semi-Final Qualification Scenario?<\/h2>\n

India\u2019s qualification for the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-finals has become very tough after their loss to South Africa. Their net run rate has dropped sharply to -3.80, putting them behind both South Africa (+3.80) and the West Indies (+5.35), who already have two points each.<\/p>\n

To stay alive in the tournament, India must win both of their remaining Super 8 matches. They also need South Africa to win their remaining two games. If the West Indies manage even one more victory, India\u2019s chances of qualifying could almost disappear.<\/p>\n

After facing Zimbabwe in their next Super 8 match, India are scheduled to take on the West Indies at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday, March 1.<\/p>\n
