Vijay Shankar Suffers another Injury Scare During Net Session Ahead Of Afghanistan Clash


Recommended Posts

Vijay Shankar is the latest to suffer an injury scare in the Indian camp after being hit on toe during a rain hit training session on Wednesday. During Wednesday's training, a Jasprit Bumrah yorker hit Shankar flush on his toes and he was apparently in pain. However a team source informed PTI that there's nothing to worry as of now. "Yes, Vijay was in pain but it has subsided by the evening. Hopefully, there's nothing scary," the source said.

 

Shankar is one of the designated No. 4 batsmen in this Indian line-up although he is being used as a floater.

Shankar is also a handy medium pacer who got a couple important wickets against Pakistan including skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed.

With Shikhar Dhawan already ruled out of the tournament due to thumb fracture and Bhuvneshwar Kumar out for two games due to hamstring strain, Shankar's injury will only increase tension for the team management.

As of now Bhuvneshwar will not be bowling for eight days and will only be in contention for the England game (June 30) in Birmingham.

The team management, just like in Dhawan's case, is confident that Bhuvneshwar will be available during the business end of the tournament.

While the team management and the BCCI dilli dallied in giving a proper picture with regards to Dhawan's injury, they are still maintaining that it is a left hamstring stiffness and not a tear for Bhuvneshwar.

In case of hamstring tear, there will be very little chance of comeback for Bhuvneshwar in World Cup 2019.

While Khaleel Ahmed, the stand-by pacer is with the team, in worst case scenario if Bhuvneshwar has to be replaced, the team management can fall back on veteran Ishant Sharma as he is also on the list.

Shankar is a fringe player who is expected to chip in here and there, IMO, so not much worried about injuries to such players as they can be replaced .... Not sure if he should be in the 11 anyways!

What delusional performances are you talking about against Australia and NZ, this assumption is not based on any format, its just a straight in your face opinion that he is a mediocre cricketer with a very limited set of skills.

I knew it u were sleeping ......u only wakeup during IPL or else u wud have watched his partnership with kohli where he outbatted kohli , or batted us out of trouble in NZ or won game against aus in last while defending 10-11 runs . Neither u must have seen him on NZ-A tour where they had many of there main bowler and he was our best batsman......ur assumption are just t20 based

 

He isnt mediocre....the guy has got a very sound technique who can easilt bat around 100 s/r, good fielder, can be handy with ball in overcast condition.

I agree that Shankar needs to pull up his socks to be taken seriously

I thought Shankar in all his odi chances has performed admirably... if you are comparing t20 and ipl to odi then I have no answer, but he is deftly there on merit. He is a solid 4 batsman who can  additionally bowl military medium pace. It was sad he was not given chances earlier...
