DUBAI
\nShivam Dube impressed in India\u2019s crushing nine-wicket win over the United Arab Emirates at the Asia Cup and the all-rounder credited bowling coach Morne Morkel with the tactical tweaks and advice that led to his three-wicket haul.
\nUAE were skittled for 57 runs in the Twenty20 match, with Dube recording career-best figures of 3\/4 and Kuldeep Yadav picking up four wickets, before India chased down their target in just 4.3 overs.
\n\u201cMorne has been working with me since I came back into the Indian team for the England series,\u201d Dube told reporters.
\n\u201cHe told me to bowl a line that is slightly outside the off-stump. He also worked with me in developing a slower delivery and tweaked my run-up a bit. The head coach and the skipper had told me that my bowling will have a role to play.\u201d
\nDube\u2019s bowling has improved significantly in the past year, with half of his 16 wickets in 36 T20I matches coming in his last four innings with the ball, but he was quick to shut down any comparisons with established all-rounder Hardik Pandya.
\n\u201cHardik is like a brother from whom I tend to learn a lot as he has way more experience both in IPL and international cricket compared to me,\u201d Dube said.
\n\u201cComparison, I never thought of, as my only endeavour is to learn as much as I can from his vast experience.\u201d
\nIndia next play Pakistan on Sunday while UAE take on Oman the following day, with the tournament hosts looking to bounce back from a batting collapse which saw them record their lowest total in a T20I.
\n\u201cFor our batters, to be very honest, they were playing (India\u2019s world-class bowlers) for the first time,\u201d UAE head coach Lalchand Rajput told reporters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
