Twitter lashes out at Vijay Shankar as he couldn't even bring a single dimension against Mumbai Indians

05/02/2019

Mumbai Indians posted 162 on the board which is always a below-par score at the Wankhede. But it was not a cake walk for SRH as they too struggled against Mumbai's bowling attack. Twitter expressed their displeasure on Vijay Shankar's World Cup selection as the all-rounder failed to have an impact.

Brief Scores: Mumbai Indians 162/5 (Quinton de Kock 69*, Rohit Sharma 24; Khaleel Ahmed 42/3, Mohammad Nabi 24/1) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad 162/6 (Manish Pandey 71*, Mohammad Nabi 31; Krunal Pandya 22/2, Hardik Pandya 20/2)

That was harsh!

Vijay Shankar is very very lucky to be in India’s World Cup team. No matter how many dimensions he bring, he shouldn’t be in India’s playing eleven.

Just Malinga things!

Malinga and Yorkers .. What a pleasure to watch it..
— EBAT Sapkota (@sapkota_ebat)

India’s chief selector has included for his 3D skills...he’s played one ODI batting at 4 and hasn’t bowled off late...really you would leave India’s most consistent ODI batsman playing at 4 in the recent past out for him...
— Shakya18 (@shakyamitra)

Tough times for Vijay Shankar!

I wonder what made BCCI choose Vijay Shankar for the World Cup Squad?

He didn't show his luck in this season at all!
— Gautam Vashisht (@GautamVashisht4)

Shreyas Iyer showed how good he is!

Shreyas Iyer must be wondering what has he done wrong, to not be in the World Cup team ahead of Vijay Shankar...
— Shivam Chowkidar (@itsShivam18)

That was a cheap shot!

Indian selectors have done great work by selecting for squad. Because he will make sure that Indian team won’t reach to semi final also.

This is scary!

Vijay Shankar 3D performance so far

Disgust

Delude

Depress

If he is our number 4 in world Cup add another D

Defeat

That looks bad!

Vijay Shankar strike rates last nine innings this IPL:

76.19 (21 balls)

50.00 (10)

96.30 (27)

50.00 (2)

63.64 (11)

130.00 (20)

80.00 (10)

175.00 (4)

70.58 (17)

- in seven of his last nine innings, he has scored at less than run-a-ball

The nation wants to know!

When will you return back to form?

Vijay Shankar:

LOL!

Mumbai shouldn't win this match after that batting performance.
