RCB Jersey Roast: “Five Stars Speak Louder Than Words”
Shivam Dube stole the show after CSK’s nail-biting win over LSG on April 14, 2025, when he took a playful jab at RCB fans during a viral moment.
As he walked off the field, hearing cheers and jeers from the stands, Dube spotted a group of RCB supporters and pointed to the five stars on his CSK jersey—symbolizing their five IPL titles—while miming a shrug that said, “What can we say? Winners stay winning.”
The clip quickly went viral, with fans praising his light-hearted trolling. “It’s all in good fun,” Dube later told reporters.
“RCB has great supporters, but we’ve got history on our side. Those stars? They’re our silent comedians!”
“MS Made It Easy” – Humble Banter with Captain Dhoni
After sharing a match-winning 56-run partnership with MS Dhoni against LSG, Shivam Dube’s post-match interview was a masterclass in humble humor.
When asked how he handled the pressure in the final overs, he deadpanned: “I just followed the boss’s lead. MS came in and started smashing the bowlers like it was a net session. Suddenly, my job became ‘don’t get out and enjoy the show’—easy enough, right?”
His ability to blend respect for Dhoni with self-deprecating jokes (“Let’s be real, my 43* was just keeping the seat warm for his 26* off 11 balls!”) endeared him to fans, highlighting the relaxed vibe in CSK’s dugout.
Dugout Dancing and Sideline Shenanigans
Dube’s humor isn’t limited to the field. Camera cuts to CSK’s dugout often catch him cracking jokes with teammates or breaking into impromptu dance moves during rain delays.
During a match against SRH, when Ravindra Jadeja took a stunning catch, Dube pretended to “bow down” to the left-arm all-rounder, mimicking a royal salute that had the entire bench in stitches.
Even opponents can’t resist his charm. After LSG’s Avesh Khan bowled a wayward delivery, Dube flashed a cheeky grin and said, “Avesh, next time aim for my bat, not my toes!”—turning a tense moment into a shared laugh.
Off-Field Quirks
Shivam Dube’s humor extends to his off-field initiatives. At a Tamil Nadu Sports Journalists’ Association event, where he pledged ₹70,000 to 10 young athletes, he joked: “Don’t spend it all on cricket gear—save some for snacks. Trust me, carbs are a batter’s best friend.”
On social media, he’s equally playful. After hitting a six, he posted a photo of himself mid-swing with the caption: “My arms are tired from carrying this jersey… and the five stars, of course.”
His Instagram stories often feature behind-the-scenes pranks, like hiding Matheesha Pathirana’s shoes before a match, then blaming it on “a rogue Chepauk squirrel.”
