In a post-match interview with broadcaster JioCinema, Dube acknowledged CSK’s pivotal role in reviving his career. He credited the support and confidence instilled by senior figures at CSK, particularly captain MS Dhoni and coach Stephen Fleming.

‘This credit goes to the CSK team and Mahi Bhai. I always had the game, but what CSK does is take that game from a player. So, they have given me that confidence. They told me that I could score runs in IPL and that they believed in me,’ said Dube.

He highlighted the encouragement he received from Hussey and Fleming, emphasizing their faith in his abilities. Reflecting on his time with CSK, Dube shared, ‘When I was with CSK, he (MS Dhoni) told me that I had the capability to bat well. But he told me to be smart. So, I focused on my limitations and what I could do well.’
