IPL 2019: One rising Indian star from each team

# 3 Vijay Shankar - Sunrisers Hyderabad

Vijay Shankar

Vijay Shankar might be 28 years old, but he is only just burst on the scene and is consistently becoming a better player every time he has been given an opportunity. He has so far played four ODI matches and eight T20I games for the Indian national team and is still rising in stature after getting severely criticized for his performances initially.

The fact that Hardik Pandya is experiencing fitness problems and off the field issues has added more importance to the Tamil Nadu all-rounder. Considering the requirement of having a fast bowling all-rounder in the squad for the World Cup, he is someone extremely relevant at this point of time.

He will look forward to this IPL season with Sunrisers Hyderabad to bolster his claim to cement his place in the Indian team. Shankar will hope to fly to England ahead of Hardik Pandya or along with the Mumbai's Indians star.
