Tamil Nadu posted a big total of 221 for 6 in their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024 game against Baroda in Indore on Wednesday. Opener Narayan Jagadeesan scored 57 runs off just 32 balls and Vijay Shankar smashed 42* off just 22 balls for Tamil Nadu.

Vijay Shankar, who has even considered switching to a different state team to boost his comeback chances, hopes to keep performing consistently and spend more time in the middle.

Shankar said that he got picked into India reckoning, both for A and senior sides, on the basis of his performances with the bat when he walked in at No. 5.

Coming into the attack in the seventh over, Shankar dismissed Rohit with a fullish cross-seam delivery. 

The India all-rounder married Vaishali Visweswaran at a ceremony in Chennai on Thursday.

Batsman K.B Arun Karthick, who returns to play for Tamil Nadu after a gap of seven years, and medium-pacer Sandeep Warrier, who moved from Kerala ahead of the season, have also been included in the list

According to Gambhir, this is the kind of problem which can't be sorted even if an opener of Rohit Sharma's calibre comes back.

Eyeing to make it to the playoffs, Warner's men are currently languishing at the seventh spot with just five victories in 12 matches.

Manish Pandey (83) and Shankar (52) stitched an unbroken 140-run partnership to help SRH chase down RR's 154 for six on Thursday.

Man of the match Manish Pandey felt such performance was long due after fingers were pointed at SRH middle order as he stitched an unbeaten 140-run stand with Vijay Shankar to beat Rajasthan Royals.

The in-form SRH batsman stitches unbeaten 140-run stand with 50-up Vijay Shankar to fire SRH back winning ways with a comfortable 8-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals.

Shankar also said that the Indian player didn't react because the fan, who was abusing them also recorded everything at the same time.

Despite hailing from a family of cricketers Vijay Shankar took a longer and difficult way to make his name. He started out as a batsman who bowled off-spin.

Vijay said that he is not looking at being a mere survivor in the Indian team but someone who can perform for long time.

Indian all-rounder Vijay Shankar opened up on why he switched from bowling to medium-pace early in his career.

Tamil Nadu captain Vijay Shankar has been drafted into the India A team and he has already boarded the flight to New Zealand where they will play two 50-over warm-up games, three List A games and two four-day 'Tests' against the home A team.

While Bangar largely retained the squad that India featured against Bangladesh at home in November, he did put forth a surprising name for the reserve all-rounder.

Vijay Shankar left India's World Cup squad midway due to a toe injury and since then, he hasn't been able to break into the side.

It was another setback for Tamil Nadu all-rounder Vijay Shankar, who is now out of the 'A' series with a thumb injury.
