Shivam Dube is currently in the spotlight following his performance in the IPL 2026 season, where he took a crucial catch to dismiss renowned batsman Virat Kohli. The match took place at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where Dube initially dropped a catch when Kohli was on 7 runs, but later redeemed himself by catching him out after Kohli had scored 28 runs off 18 balls, including two fours and a six.

In addition to his cricketing achievements, Dube is also making headlines for his collaboration with actress Tina Thadani on an upcoming advertisement. This marks Thadani’s return to on-screen work after a significant gap, and she expressed her excitement about working with Dube, stating, “Shivam is a world champion for India and it was a pleasure working with him.”

The advertisement, directed by Rohit Roy, is for a fitness brand and is expected to be released in a couple of weeks. Thadani shared her enthusiasm about the project, saying, “It was such an amazing experience to be back on set and doing what I love.” She also mentioned a personal touch to the experience, as her father was visiting from Canada and she had the opportunity to introduce him to Dube, who is a favorite among Indian cricket fans.

As for the match, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) opted to bowl first against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), setting the stage for an exciting encounter. Dube’s catch of Kohli was a significant moment in the match, and observers noted the clear relief on Dube’s face as he threw the ball away after completing the catch.

With both his cricketing and advertising ventures, Shivam Dube is poised to maintain his presence in the public eye, and fans are eager to see what he will accomplish next in both arenas.
