Twitter lashes out at Vijay Shankar as he couldn't even bring a single dimension against Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians posted 162 on the board which is always a below-par score at the Wankhede. But it was not a cake walk for SRH as they too struggled against Mumbai's bowling attack. Twitter expressed their displeasure on Vijay Shankar's World Cup selection as the all-rounder failed to have an impact.

Brief Scores: Mumbai Indians 162/5 (Quinton de Kock 69*, Rohit Sharma 24; Khaleel Ahmed 42/3, Mohammad Nabi 24/1) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad 162/6 (Manish Pandey 71*, Mohammad Nabi 31; Krunal Pandya 22/2, Hardik Pandya 20/2)

That was harsh!

Vijay Shankar is very very lucky to be in India’s World Cup team. No matter how many dimensions he bring, he shouldn’t be in India’s playing eleven. #IPL2019 #MIvSRH #AakashVani

India’s chief selector has included #VijayShankar for his 3D skills...he’s played one ODI batting at 4 and hasn’t bowled off late...really you would leave India’s most consistent ODI batsman playing at 4 in the recent past out for him...@BCCI @RayuduAmbati

Tough times for Vijay Shankar!

#MIvSRH

I wonder what made BCCI choose Vijay Shankar for the World Cup Squad?

He didn't show his luck in this season at all!

Shreyas Iyer showed how good he is!

Shreyas Iyer must be wondering what has he done wrong, to not be in the World Cup team ahead of Vijay Shankar... #MIvSRH

That was a cheap shot!

Indian selectors have done great work by selecting #VijayShankar for #ICCWorldCup squad. Because he will make sure that Indian team won’t reach to semi final also.

63.64 (11)

- in seven of his last nine innings, he has scored at less than run-a-ball#MIvSRH #SRH
