During Wednesday's coaching, a Jasprit Bumrah yorker hit Shankar flush on his toe and he was once apparently in ache.
However, a crew source said that there's nothing to fret as of now.
"Yes, Vijay was in pain but it has subsided by the evening. Hopefully, there's nothing scary," the source said.
When Bumrah, whose lethal delivery injured Shakar, was once asked if he would like to cross just a little easy on his crew's batsmen at the nets, his reply was once a normal fast bowler's one.
"We don't obviously want to injure the batsman. Sometimes, when you play in the nets, nobody tells the batsmen not to hit. So they hit as well. It was unfortunate that he (Shankar) got hit. This is part and parcel of the game. But he is okay, he is fine," the short bowler assured.
On Thursday, Shankar was once noticed strolling around in slippers with a slight limp. Later he tried jogging wearing gymnasium trainers but gave up after part a lap.
He then did some elementary exercises as others took section in usual fielding drills as well as internet classes.
Shankar is one of the designated No 4 batsmen within the Indian line-up even supposing he is getting used as a floater.
Shankar is also a to hand medium pacer who got a couple important wickets against Pakistan including skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed.
With Shikhar Dhawan already dominated out of the tournament because of thumb fracture and Bhuvneshwar Kumar out for 2 games because of a hamstring pressure, Shankar's harm will most effective build up tension for the crew control.
As of now Bhuvneshwar might not be bowling for eight days and will most effective be in competition for the England recreation (June 30) in Birmingham.
The crew control, identical to in Dhawan's case, is confident that Bhuvneshwar will probably be to be had right through the trade end of the tournament.
While the crew control and the BCCI dilly dallied in giving a right kind image on Dhawan's harm, they are nonetheless keeping up that it's left-hamstring stiffness and not a tear for Bhuvneshwar.
In case of hamstring tear, there will probably be very little chance of comeback for Bhuvneshwar within the World Cup.
The pacer was once also noticed doing just a little of quick strides and jogging but didn't take part within the nets.
While Khaleel Ahmed, the stand-by pacer is with the crew, within the worst case situation if Bhuvneshwar needs to be replaced, the crew control can fall back on veteran Ishant Sharma as he is also a few of the reserves.
Bumrah expressed his disappointment about Dhawan's harm that ended his World Cup but at the similar time insisted that it's time to move on as Rahul is doing a just right activity as an opener.
"He (Dhawan) is an important member and has been doing so well for so many years. Especially in ICC tournaments, his record is so good. It's unfortunate incident that happened but you have to move forward and keep going," he said.
He said that Rahul's adaptability gives the crew self belief even in disaster scenarios.
"It displays his ability to adjust consistent with any given scenario. He was once taking part in No 4 as neatly and he adapted. Against Australia, he got a couple of balls, but he hit those balls neatly.
"So he can modify consistent with the situation. He can boost up. So it doesn't give us headache if we face any harm," said Bumrah.
