Shankar took a brief health check wherein he used to be made to do some working and also bowled a couple of balls below the supervision of physio Patrick Farhart and trainer Shankar Basu. It couldn't be ascertained whether or not the physio and the instructor had been happy together with his progress.




There have been circumstances previously the place a participant, who has attended a pre-match press convention hasn't made it to the taking part in XI.

Shankar's replied to queries over his inclusion in monosyllables.

Are you feeling higher? "Personally, I've got a lot better," he quipped.

Much higher? used to be a follow-up query and "yeah" used to be the quick reply.

The next query used to be a lot straighter. Will you be capable to play? "Yeah, hopefully," used to be all that the Tamil Nadu all-rounder stated.

Bumrah's yorkers can also be lethal and Shankar stated he anticipated that.

"Actually, when you play someone like Bumrah, you always expect that. Still, sometimes we do miss that," he smiled when asked if he anticipated a delivery like that.


While the team control's reason for sending Shankar used to be to ship a sign that he's fit and to be had, a lot depends upon the morning of the sport and prevailing prerequisites which might exchange any moment.


In case, Shankar does not play due to health issues or team mixture, the toss-up will be between Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik.


Pant is a public choice for his exciting strokeplay but Karthik's enjoy in a big-ticket tournament cannot be disregarded either.
