All-rounder Vijay Shankar revealed that he had restricted himself mentally whenever he got to bowl in India’s recent limited overs series away from home. The team management has included the all-rounder in both the ODI and T20I squads for the upcoming series against Australia, which starts from February 24. “Shankar’s performance in the recent series really changed a bit of dynamics and he brings a double impact to the side that’s why we have included him. In the three-match T20I series, Shankar amassed 84 runs with an impressive strike rate of 155.55. AdvertisingHowever, he was not used much in the bowling department and wasn’t needed at all in the three-match T20I series.
