Vijay Shankar is not known for letting his emotions get the better of him. He is someone who assesses the situation and tries to act as rationally possible under the given the circumstances. He did exactly that when asked to react on Ambati Rayudu\u2019s 3-D tweet after the World Cup snub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to a popular YouTube show hosted by Gaurav Kapoor, Shankar said he knows how a cricketer can feel after being dropped from the side and he is certain that Rayudu had no intentions of targeting him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know for the fact that how a cricketer would feel if they are not being picked. I can understand from a player\u2019s point of view. And I know for the fact that he didn\u2019t mean it to me. It was just that he put that tweet for the sake of it. I can understand the situation in which he was. It is fine for any cricketer,\u201d said Vijay Shankar answering the question about how he felt about this tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust ordered a new set of 3-D glasses to watch the World Cup,\u201dRayudu had tweeted after being ignored for India\u2019s World Cup squad. It was Vijay Shankar, who was selected ahead of Rayudu, mainly because of his all-round abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVijay Shankar gives three dimensions. He can bat, if the conditions are overcast he can bowl, plus he is a fielder. We are looking at Vijay Shankar as a No. 4. Now we have plenty of options for that slot,\u201d India\u2019s chairman of selectors MSK\u2009Prasad had said last month, which prompted Rayudu\u2019s the 3-D tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, speaking about his World Cup goals, Shankar said he will give his all whenever he gets an opportunity.\u201cI will keep working hard on all aspects of my game, whenever the opportunity comes I will always try my best for the team.
\nMoreover, Shankar described representing his country as the \u2018best thing\u2019 and said that they will deliver based on what they have practised and worked hard for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe pressure is going to be there every game, but if we starting thinking about the bigger stage and how it is a World Cup it can affect your own instincts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
