World Cup 2019: Analysing the weaknesses of Indian batsmen

Vijay Shankar

Vijay Shankar will have to make the most of his chances with the bat

Shankar has batted five innings in ODI cricket and four in T20Is and has been able to perform decently enough to book his berth for the World Cup. Labeled as a 'three-dimensional' player, Shankar will be itching to prove his worth, especially with the bat in hand.

However, his IPL exploits this year were worrying and wasn't striking the ball well right through the season. Though he has shown that he has a good pull and a jab to rely upon, it's his handling of the pressure situations that have to be tested.

Yet to be tested at the biggest stage in ODI cricket, Shankar's biggest challenge will be his ability to handle the pressure at such a huge level and with a poor show in the IPL and in the warm-up game, he will need to find form soon.
