Shivam Dube was born on 26 June 1993 in Mumbai, India. His father Rajesh Dube hails from Bhadohi district in Uttar Pradesh and had migrated to Mumbai for work.[4]
Dube played school cricket for Hansraj Morarji Public School[5] but had to stop playing at the age of 14 as he was overweight and unable to work on his fitness due to financial constraints. He returned to play at the age of 19 and was soon selected for the Mumbai Under-23s.[6]
He made his first-class debut for Mumbai in the 2017–18 Ranji Trophy on 7 December 2017.[9] In the first innings, he took his maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket.[10] On 2 November 2018, in Mumbai's match against Railways in the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy, he scored his maiden century in first-class cricket.[11] In his next match, against Karnataka, he took another five-wicket haul, with seven wickets for 54 runs.[12] On 17 December 2018, in the Ranji Trophy match against Baroda, Dube hit five sixes in one over.[13] It was the second time he had scored five sixes in an over, after doing it against Pravin Tambe in the Mumbai T20 League in March,[14] where he was also named the player of the tournament.[15] He was the leading wicket-taker for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy in 2018, with 23 dismissals in eight matches.[16]
He was retained by CSK for 4 crores in the 2023 Indian Premier League.[21][22] He scored 418 runs in 264 balls during the season, with an average strike rate of 158.33, and an average score of 38. [23][24] His best performance of the season came against his former team RCB, when he scored 52 runs in 27 balls.[25] He went on to win the season with CSK by scoring 32 runs in 21 balls in the final, without losing his wicket.[26]
On 11 January 2024, in the first T20I match for India against Afghanistan, he scored 60 runs off 40 balls and took a wicket while giving away 9 runs.[36] He became the fourth Indian cricketer, scoring a half century along with a wicket in a T20I match.[37]
