sarcastic Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Vijay seems like a dud when batting. Hardly hits outside the inner circle and seems to play very slow. I have memories of the great Kallis being slothy too for a good part while he is on the crease. But suddenly, when the time seems ripe, Kallis uses to usher in a flurry of sixers... just lifting them like rocks so effortlessly... But he was a strong man though. Vijay seems to have that knack of hitting sixes at will when things are all on the place for him..>I mean mentally etc. But for that to happen could take a Long Long time and could waste a lot of balls before he starts doing that.

Forever Indian Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 He just needs match time like every other batsman to get in form, was out of match time when he faced Mustafizur for first time. He had not batted in a match for a few months before that. The Dark Horse, express bowling, Rightarmfast and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure have very high hopes from VS which will come down crashing in next few days, 5 years is too long to invest in him. We already have BK and Pandya (both younger than him) and VS stands no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at it those are matches where you can just plonk your front foot and hit through the line. Even when he executes he loses his shape. This is why i am disappointed KKD did not promote Gill. All these guys get hyped while the real talent is languishing at no.6, no.7 unable to showcase his full range of shots.

jusarrived Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Kallis was nothing like VS , he played steady but he could easily accelerate at will was just born in the wrong era where he was thought to bat correctly and put away only the bad balls .

Mariyam Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Who is Vijay Sankar? Isn't it Amitabh's character from Don, the guy who sings Khaike paan Benaras wala? I see the similarity, I can imagine Kallis doing his all round thumkas with a gamcha around his waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Genius Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'm sorry but I have to ask.... What did Kallis ever do to you that you start comparing him with Vijay Shankar of all people??? Unstable Joe and Switchblade 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Indian Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Lol, people here are replying as if Kallis is some great T20 player. We are not talking about tests or ODI batting of Kallis here. In the IPL, Kallis was exactly as OP pointed out, would do tuk tuk for long and then only start hitting at last minute. Not saying the comparison is valid or anything, but funny seeing comments that no one should be compared to Kallis style of batting in T20 cricket UrmiSinhaRay and sarcastic 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vishalvirsingh Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Kallis was a SOLID BATSMAN and he was very good against genuine Pacers too where as this guy is a SHADY BATSMAN... Kallis used to bowl from 127 to 146K where as this guy bowls 120 to 135K with not much control over his line n length. Vijay shankar has some genuine fielding issue's. Vijay Shankar has serious temperament issue's, if you observe him carefully he seems as if he is not very Confident whether he belongs into the team 11 where as Hardik has Over Confidence Issue's... one guy has less confidence and one guy is Over confident. COnfidence brings Performance and that is why Hardik is way Ahead of Vijay SHankar. Lets not compare Kallis with either of them as Kallis is WAY Ahead and probably better than Kapil dev and richard Hadlee as all rounder. hardik is also not good enough to be compared to Kapil dev and Vijay is a Joke of an all rounder. Washington sundar will suceed as a bowling all rounder. Switchblade and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And regarding solidity, I hear VS is also very solid Ranji batsman who comes in the middle order for Tamil Nadu. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dear Ranji Batting and Batting in international matches are two totally different things, i am talking about his Skills when he is compared to international bowlers and batsman, MUSHFIQAR made him into a Joker and many good bowlers have sorted him out, he did hit a few Sixes but that was not enough to prove his batting skills. His bowling has been so unimpressive that he has never been asked to bowl 4 overs in a t20 game till now, so he is being considered as a part time bowler...that itself speaks how good a bowler he is.
