India vs Australia 2019, 2nd ODI: Twitter reacts to Vijay Shankar's unlucky run-out

India won the first ODI against Australia by six wickets. The second ODI between these two is currently being played in the Orange City of Nagpur.

Australia won the toss and asked India to bat first. It was not an ideal start for India as they lost Rohit Sharma in the very first over for a duck. This is Rohit's first ODI duck in India. Dhawan looked good until he got out to Maxwell for 21 runs. Ambati Rayudu could not make his mark in this game and he also got out LBW.

India made a surprise move as they pushed Vijay Shankar ahead of Kedar Jadhav and Dhoni. It turned out to be a good move. The Tamil Nadu cricketer was striking really well. He was matching with Kohli ball by ball in this game. The Indian captain reached his 50th half century in ODI cricket. On the other hand, Shankar also was playing well with Kohli. He played some incredible shots including a six. He looked really good both against spinners and fast bowlers. Australian bowlers could not bother him with the ball. It's a kind of innings which he would have wanted to play with the World Cup selection around the corner.

India was really doing well with Shankar and Kohli partnership and all set for the big score. In the 29th over, Virat Kohli smashed Zampa straight down the ground. The ball touched Zampa's hands when he tried to field and the ball crashed straight into the stumps. And the replay showed Shankar was out to the crease and was declared out. Everyone felt really sad for the Indian all-rounder who looked really fluent today and on his way to scoring big. It is one of the unfortunate ways to get out in cricket and the situation made it even worse.

Here is how Twitter reacted to Vijay Shankar's unlucky run-out.

Sanjay Manjrekar:

Forget Vijay Shankar the all rounder, let’s focus on Vijay Shankar the batsman. That innings of 46 was oozing class. 👏👏👏🙏#AUSvIND

Vijay Shankar has been extremely impressive. This is who he is. A quality batsman who can give you a few overs.

Deep Dasgupta:

Vijay Shankar has been very impressive since the NZ series.✔️all the boxes to bat in the middle order for me.bat when team under preasure,rotate strike vs spin/pace,can change gears. With his bowling can be an asset but need to remember, he's a batsman who can bowl #INDvAUS

Vijay shankar wicket is obviously unfortunate wicket but we have seen lots of players getting out like this why the non strikers not watching or waiting for the ball to cross the wicket #staraikelungal

Attractive and attackable innings by the young #VijayShankar.Unlucky today but send his innings sound to the Selectors of team #India for the World-Cup.👏👏👍🏏🏏

Kohli would rue himself for playing the straight drive and running out Vijay Shankar. How suddenly match has changed from 146 for 3 to 171 for 6. So many overs left and India were poised for 300 runs at one stage #INDvAUS

Vijay Shankar is yet to be out by any bowler, in both his ODI innings he was looking good and has been run out (with some contribution from the other batsman) #CBhaveyoursay
