Ever since his troubled outing in the Indian outfit in the Nidahas Trophy this year, Vijay Shankar has been in the firing range of the critics. Many felt that the Tamil Nadu all-rounder is incapable of hitting lusty blows with the bat. His form in the first few games only strengthened this proposition. In the match against the Chennai Super Kings, he had a sluggish start and many wrote him off yet again.

Vijay Shankar ended up surprising everyone by striking big in the final overs to take his side close to a win. He smashed an unbeaten 54 off just 31 deliveries with a solitary boundary and 5 sixes to his name. He backed up his performance with another cameo in the match against the Rajasthan Royals. He hit a timely 6-ball 17 to end things on a high for his side in the match.
