Is Vijay Shankar the worst Indian player ever to be picked in WC squad ?

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.

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.

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.

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.

No because Karthik is already there in this squad, now the latter is probably the worst ever ODI player with over 50 matches.

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 :bird:

I think things will only get better for him in worldcup but i am not sure if pressure of worldcup will get him out.

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.

Yes he chokes under pressure

Did the same in Nidhahas.   But no other guys who can do 6th bowling option

Kedar is one but he too has been flop in ipl. I think in wc we should not care too much about ipl performance and see what players did when they played odi series.

Rayudu can score match winning 100s against SL,Bang,Zim and Afg. Already proven.

 

Shankar at best is a 30-40 run player against any opponent

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.
