Gollum Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) He reminds me of Reetinder Singh Sodhi, I guess we have moved a long way from those times. Unless Shankar does something extraordinary in the coming days no way should he even be in our A team squad. I wish the lad well, he looks like a domestic bully cum honest trier, hope he earns some $$ in IPL and becomes a domestic cricket legend. Edited April 16, 2018 by Gollum chewy and Sean Bradley 2
chewy Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Don't think T20 is Vijay Shankar's game (against international class bowling), he comes across very lumbersome, reminds me of the other big dude from Jharkand, Saurab Tiwary, bullied domestic trundlers and spinners but struggled against quality pace bowlers maybe suited for longer format. Add to that, Gambhir hardly trusts him for bowling. Got lucky in the Auction, probably due to hype and debut in Nidahas Cup.

Reetinder Sodhi was better in comparison, but that's not saying much about Reetinder as well. sandeep 1
Pollack Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 V Shankar's bowling is sh!T. I have always emphasized this while people were far more optimistic. He definitely has some talent with the bat. I read about his interview after the screw up against bangladesh and was thoroughly unimpressed with his answers and attitude. I can see why if he doesn't improve much in future. Let's see which way he goes. vishalvirsingh 1

Without it Karthik would not have anything left to salvage. He hit the next ball to be caught at long off. Either his four or the catch at long off will not be remembered its good that karthik won it.

King Tendulkar Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Ah so now everyone knows why I laughed about his bowling credentials
anish2tweet Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 His bowling is mediocre. There is zero talent there. He could be a decent bat .He has not done well so far in IPL Sent from my CPH1819 using Tapatalk
Straight Drive Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Finally even a frequently low ranked franchisee like DD also cannot afford a passenger like Vijay Shankar. Can't even make DD IPL 11.
Pollack Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Last innings late assault against CSK must give him some confidence back. Some rookies take time to adjust. Must have faith in him.
putrevus Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 This guy scored runs after match was over and CSK knew they were not going to lose.When the match was in balance he hardly score runs and was hoovering under 100 SR.He has gall to say that he can adapt to any situations. He is 27 not 17 if he is not ready article now , he never will be one. Get him away from Indian team.
Straight Drive Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 He is not fit for T20. ODI he can waste two overs to settle, but there is no luxury to batsmen to settle in T20, unless the team is something like 30/4 in power play or thereabouts. Even yesterday he plodded and created pressure on himself as well as RRR. He made up for it but during his innings he never got DD into a winning position. Only when Rishabh was batting there were hopes of DD win. He should never make a T20i unless he shows he has the game for it.
putrevus Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 He has zero value if he is in for his batting alone as his bowling is not even worth few overs.There are plenty of batsmen who are far better than him.

His bowling is effective in days game because he bowls good test match length and bowling at decent Pace now. Rightarmfast 1
putrevus Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Its 27, not 37. Plenty of time for him to get better. Better at what? His highest FC score is 111 and he has five centuries .If his bowling is worse than Kohli on what basis he should be considered for team selection.

If his bowling is effective in tests, how come his FC record is so poor. We should not be trying to manufacture allrounder from bits and pieces players. How is Stuart Binny inferior to this guy.

Sean Bradley Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 VS looks like an extended version of Dinesh Mongia, Bats with Lazy Hands, this is not 90's, so good bye son

He is a batsman who can bowl. This is what we need in test, someone who can give some relief to our main bowlers overseas. he is good enough to bowl 10-15 overs a day and bat at #6.
