kubrickian Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 This guy cant bat, cant bowl and he cant even slog. How he got into the Indian team in the first place is beyond me. He will just be a passenger in the Indian squad for World Cup.
kubrickian Posted May 2, 2019 Author Posted May 2, 2019 His bowling skills are on par with Virat Kohli, if not worse. If they are looking for an all rounder, even Krunal Pandya would have been a much better option.
Nikola Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Even though i think he will do decent as packup (bowling, batting & fielding) in worldcup i am not sure how he got in to worldcup squad and probable #4 spot without a single fifty and less than 10 odi match experience. Edited May 2, 2019 by Nikola
vivek04 Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) He is mediocre not a world class player. Even rayudu was good enough. The sixes he hits in odis were just touched the boundary in the matches. Blunder selection. Edited May 2, 2019 by vivek04 spell mistake
SecondSlip Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 If it wasn’t for Karan Johar, this guy would have been nowhere near our World Cup squad putrevus, bahubali and JourneyMan 2 1
Gollum Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 No because Karthik is already there in this squad, now the latter is probably the worst ever ODI player with over 50 matches. 53 minutes ago, Nikola said: Even though i think he will do decent as packup (bowling, batting & fielding) in worldcup i am not sure how he got in to worldcup squad and probable #4 spot without a single fifty and less than 10 odi match experience. You know the reason. Got run out twice when he was in the 40s and batting well.

Krunal pandya who struggled in international cricket against high pace is better then a guy who did well in international cricket in limited chances Stan AF 1
Gollum Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) 2003 WC we had Dinesh Mongia in the starting XI 1999 WC Ramesh....gun test bat but shambolic in ODIs. Edited May 2, 2019 by Gollum DHONI_FANN 1
Nikola Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) I think things will only get better for him in worldcup but i am not sure if pressure of worldcup will get him out. Edited May 2, 2019 by Nikola
vvvslaxman Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Not true He is not suitable for T20. Besides KL rahul will start along with Jadhav. Did you see the crap that Pandya dishes out with his bowling? You trust Hardik with 10 overs. Either Jadhav or Shankar is a necessary evil.

putrevus Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Very weird team, they just have four batsmen and three fast bowlers, team is filled with bits and pieces players. Nikola 1

I think in wc we should not care too much about ipl performance and see what players did when they played odi series.
putrevus Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 they needed an odi series like England is having b4 world cup. Nikola 1

Already proven. Shankar at best is a 30-40 run player against any opponent zen 1
vvvslaxman Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Wait until the world cup. We will know who is the worst who is the best.
bowl_out Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Funny that OP says he can't even slog when the expectation from him in ODIs is to rotate strike, see through the middle overs. I'd take a run a ball 50/60 any day over a 20(10) kind of innings from Shankar if he plays.. He looks to have the game to get run-a-ball 60. anish2tweet 1
Khota Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 I would not go that far as calling him worst but he does not deserve it.
