Speaking of Shankar, the all-rounder was the part of India’s 2019 World Cup squad. However, he sustained an injury in the middle of the tournament and was replaced by Mayank Agarwal. Since then, he hasn’t played for the national team. However, he continued to do well in domestic cricket. Last year, he was appointed as the captain of the Tamil Nadu Ranji team.

Shankar’s next assignment will get underway with the start of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. The all-rounder played a crucial role in guiding SRH to the playoffs in IPL 2019 and will like to put on a similar or even better show. However, with the pitches in UAE known to favour the spinners and the boundaries also being on the larger side, Shankar and other SRH players will certainly tackle a different challenge.
