Majestic Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) He can't bowl, can't bat, gets injured all the time, probably an average fielder too. He reminds me of Stuart Binny but atleast Binny has ran through Bangladesh once long back while Vijay almost costed them the Nidahas trophy before DK came with blinder knock to save him. I think SRH's best bet this year is to hope that he gets injured although the problem for them is his replacement is no better in Kedhar Jadhav . So, not much choices there. Discuss!

Vickydev Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Dube to me is worse..Shankar can get an over through sometimes, he won us a game against Aus with the last over iirc. And he is a very good fielder. Indwin, Frustrated, sorak and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Vilander Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 both dube and shankar look big built and strong, absolute waste in LOI. Shankar might have been good in tests he seemed to be able to bat. Link to comment
sandeep Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Shankar is yards better than Doobi. Shankar is a batsman who bowls a bit, and a decent batsman for longer formats. T20 is his worst format. The sheer scarcity of 'pace' bowling allrounders and the resulting high valuation put on players of this type by T20 teams, is why these 2 get high level opportunities. Comparing Shankar to Doobi is an insult IMHO. Indwin 1 Link to comment

Shankar took two wickets in the last over to bowl out Australia.. Some bilateral played in Nagpur or Pune.. Also, got wickets against Pak in the WC when Bhuvi was injured.. And played some decent 30s, 40s knocks.. He is an average bat in ODIs, but shyte in T20s Dube is absolute shyte across all formats.. His only claim to fame is some sixes he hit in Maharashtra Premier League. Link to comment

Bigg Brother Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Shankar is better than Dubey but it is not itself any achievement. Dueby ji is totally incompetent. raki05 and Frustrated 2 Link to comment
SK_IH Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 If Shankar gets to bat at no.3 regularly, he ll do a better job than Pandey. However, he is not your quintessential T20 batsman but he is not the worst. raki05, sandeep, Ankit_sharma03 and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Majestic Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Dube is so trash that his name didn't even clicked to me to begin with Frustrated, Vk1, raki05 and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Shankar getting that legbefore in that game, made me laugh my ass off. It was fitting that a crap filler bowler like him was good enough to knock over a greenbro in a crunch game. proper lol-wa. Enjoyed that. raki05 1 Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 t20 isnt his format and about his quality go watch his knock when he batted with rayudu in Nz and Kohli against Aus...was in really good control unluckily got run out both times that to the unlucky one. After that he was made to hardik role which isnt his forte...in Wc failed in 2 games... 2 games are nothing in that also took wkts when bhuvi got injured. Vickydev 1 Link to comment

I believe between him and Hardik they got Imam, Malik,Hafeez and Sarfaraz. May not sound much but that’s The Who’s who of Pak batting for the last 10-15 years probably barring Imam. sandeep 1 Link to comment

He had to defend like 7 or something against stoinis in the last over. Cleaned him up. Also in the world cup against Pakistan once India lost a bowler he bowled the last few balls of the over and got rid of imam ul haq i think. He is average. Definitely not the worst. Dubey is the worst. Link to comment
Number Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I think he was drafted in ODIs too close to world cup. If he had more confidence in his batting with a few more 50s he could be really good. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Binny took 6 for 4 against Bangladesh. But he conceded 32 runs in one over to West indies lol Link to comment
Jay Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 he is much better suited to tests and odi. he is not cut out for t20. doobi is better in t20 i would say. shankar is actually quite good in red ball. its another one of those shardul moments and it will take a while for people to realize that he is actually a solid player. trust me. i have seen him play for india A. he is good in red ball.

Yeah that innings in NZ was special in those conditions, unfortunately cut short by that run out. Link to comment
