5 emerging talents who can make an impact in the Nidahas Trophy

#1 Vijay Shankar (27 years)

Vijay Shankar, the Tamil Nadu cricketer, can provide stability to the side

A middle-order batsman and a medium pace bowler, Shankar can provide the perfect balance to a side and can allow them to bat deep and at the same time have 22-24 overs in the bank in the shortest format of the game.

Shankar rose to fame when he displayed some extraordinary form of batting in the Ranji Trophy season 2014-15. Especially in the knockout stages of the tournament, Shankar was just unstoppable - scoring a 50 plus score each time in the semifinal and final and converting two of them to hundreds.

With an average of over 49 in First Class Cricket, it is time for Shankar to make his debut when so many regular players are being rested. Shankar is definitely a man to look out for in the upcoming Nidahas Trophy.
