Sad to see Vijayshankars fitness levels are not living up to his talent.

[gakgupta]

Injuries crippled him. Rahul Dravid has huge hopes on him. Infact, he preferred vijay over Hardik. Shankar pulled out from Australia A tour which helped hardik to make huge amends in his technique and hardik (more opr less) is regular in Indian test side.

 

Now Vijay didn't played this SA A entire tour..

 

See how fate plays with few players....

 

Manish Pandey was ahead of Jadhav last year but now jadhav is regular in Indian one day side and same applies to hardik / shankar case

 

 

[express bowling]

Same with the injury-history of Nathu Singh.

 

Had a great Ranji match,  excellent VH Trophy and superb SMA Trophy in early 2016

 

Grabs headlines for his speed and top domestic performances..... got a big IPL contract in 2016

 

Is injured during the IPL 2016, not a single match for him

 

Comes back with a top 2016 Duleep Trophy game, 6 wickets with the pink ball bowling quick.

 

Gets injured again in Ranji season 2016/17

 

Is fit again, gets a moderate IPL contract 2017

 

Plays 2 matches in IPL 2017, bowls superbly and is injured again

 

Is called to NCA as one of the 7 short-listed pacers to be groomed for the national team

 

The other 6 get into India A team.... Nathu misses out.

Shankar is already in the list of selectors as he is always selected for A teams.

 

He should look after his fitness as he always gets injured.

[Vilander]

So the title could have ween, Sad to see Vijayshankars fitness levels are not living up to his talent.

Nathu and Shankar: Two amazing talent who will anyway make into team if they remain fit. Nathu's timing of injuries are indeed fateful.

 

[The Dark Horse]

Is he ruled out of the tournament or is it over?

[jf1gp_1]

Sanjay banger should like him

Not much details available about the nature of all his injuries.

 

He had some shoulder issues during IPL 2016  and lower-back spasm during IPL 2017.

seems like he does not work hard enough on his fitness like other pacers are doing currently. He seems to be like Munaf and Shami with a laid-back attitude.

Check out the physique of pacer Israr Azeem from UP. He is not regular even in UP ranji team but can burn even the best of the models by his physique.

More like Munaf perhaps.

 

Shami atleast has added a lot of muscles and is sustaining high speeds even during his last spell of the day, meaning he has worked on his stamina.

shami has improved ,you cant compare him to munaf .

I am not comparing Shami with Munaf.

 

I was saying that Nathu's attitude to fitness is ore like Munaf and not like Shami ( who has improved his stamina and muscles )

[NareshK]

Being a seam bowling all rounder is not a joke. Injuries are part of their career. That's why there have only been a handful of seamer all rounders who have had long successful careers. But they make a huge difference to the team in terms of balance and options. Indian team which won world cup in 83 and Aussie team which won 99,03,07 WC had a lot of All rounders.

 

Even Indian team which did really well in 03 WC had Ganguly, Sehwag, Sachin, Yuvraj, Dinesh Mongia who could all bowl. In current team, all batsmen are specialists which means if one or two bowlers have a bad day, you have nothing to fall back on.

shami has improved ,you cant compare him to munaf but people have natural build some have those slightly thinner type bones and muscles may be lower metabolism which gives them the lean muscle look others have thicker bones, big shoulders,thighs arms etc ,one of my cousins has that type build.... people think he is juiced up,others dont have any thing just normal build.

If he has lots of big muscles with less body fat percentage, well toned body, a very big chest with puffy nipples pointing down, he is most probably juiced.

not just munaf or nathu most are like that ,fitness /strength training is a new thing in ind cricket

 

Most were like that earlier .... but things have changed a lot in the last 5 years or so.

 

Most pacers are fitness freaks these days.

The place Vijay shankar is from ethinically in TN, i have seen really well built folks during my college days. Easy volleyball players and atheletes, remarkably tall i mean greater than 6' 3". But often poor food habits and muscle loss after early 20s.
