Shivam Dube's world record streak, which lasted for nearly six years, came to an end on Friday (October 30) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground as India lost to Australia in the second T20I of a five-match series by a margin of four wickets with 40 balls to spare.








After Mitchell Marsh won the toss and chose to bowl first, India were bowled out for just 125 despite a knock of 68 in just 37 balls. Dube was demoted to number eight in the batting order, with Harshit Rana sent to bat ahead of him at number seven. The 32-year-old walked out to bat in the 15th over with 28 balls left in the innings, but failed to make a mark and was dismissed for a knock of four runs in two balls by Xavier Bartlett.

Later, Dube did not bowl a single over as Australia chased down a target in 13.2 overs.

Shivam Dube's World Record Streak Ends



The result means that Dube has lost a T20I game for only the third time in his career, having played 43 games. The first two instances of the same happening were within the first month of my career in November and December 2019 against Bangladesh and West Indies at Delhi and Thiruvanthapuram.

Since being part of India's win against West Indies at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on 11th December 2019 (2151 days ago, Dube has remained undefeated in T20Is until today. In this period, he played 37 games for the Men in Blue in which they won 34 while three games were washed out due to rain.

The result marked Jasprit Bumrah's streak of 24 matches in a row, also ending. The star pacer's last defeat was against New Zealand in the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Dube's streak is the longest in any format by a male cricketer, and he is the only player to win over 30 games across all formats.. The record is jointly shared by Matthew Hayden, Brad Hogg, Glenn McGrath and Ricky Ponting in ODI cricket, who won 20 matches in a row. Meanwhile, in Test cricket, McGrath, Justin Langer, Michael Slater, Mark Waugh, Adam Gilchrist, Michael Hussey and Brett Lee all were involved in 16 victories in a row.

Only in Women's ODI cricket is the streak better, as the Australian pair of Jess Jennesson and Megan Schutt won 37 and 36 matches in a row. In Women's T20I cricket, the longest streak is 23 consecutive wins by England's Laura Marsh.
