According to Dube, the former Indian skipper advised him to play till the end and try to finish the game. "I cannot express all the things... I have upgraded my game. I got to know how to finish the game, how to be in the situation, how to tackle the bowlers, that all things are more important and many things are there but cannot express all the things. But, I definitely got some big tips. He told me to play till the end and try to finish the game. You can win many matches from your batting, so keep believing in yourself," Shivam Dube said in a video posted by BCCI.
