Dube has established himself as one of the most destructive middle-order batters in the IPL, scoring 350 runs at a 170-plus strike rate
The fire reportedly sparked from an AC unit on the fourth floor of the building. The apartment was apparently being shared by a group of bachelors mostly from India and Pakistan.
Some of them whom Khaleej Times spoke to said they were just getting ready for work when they heard a loud bang from the AC unit. Dressed in his uniform, Rahil (name changed), who works at a food joint, said the fire spread quickly since there were a lot of wooden partitions in the apartment, not giving them enough time to collect their belongings.
Mary G, a Filipino, who lived on the same floor with her family, was standing outside the building with her one-year-old in her one hand and some diapers in the other.
"I had just given a shower to my baby when I could smell smoke, shortly after which the building alarm went off. When I opened the door, I saw black smoke billowing out of the flat opposite to mine. I got so scared that I just grabbed my baby and rushed out. I know some bachelors were living in that apartment but don't know the exact cause of the fire. I hope our belongings are safe," she said, hugging her little one.
A number of ambulances, police patrol vehicles and fire engines reached the spot in less that 15 minutes and evacuated the four-floor building.
