Shivam Dube’s Golden T20I Streak Ends At 37–1, Internet Explodes With Memes

A Streak That Became A Legend  
Shivam Dube’s unbeaten run in T20 internationals—spanning over 2,150 days since his debut in 2019—came to a halt as India fell short against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The streak, which included 34 wins and three no-results, was the longest of its kind in T20I history, making Dube a cult figure among fans and statisticians.

India’s batting collapse, setting a modest target of 125, allowed Australia to chase down the total with ease. The loss also impacted Jasprit Bumrah’s unbeaten streak and Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy record. However, it was Dube’s “37–1” stat that captured the internet’s imagination, with fans flooding social media with humorous tributes and memes.
