2) Vijay Shankar
Shankar was bought by the iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans for a whopping 10.25 lacs at the auction. He was once believed to be Hardik Pandya's backup or even replacement but over the years his performances at the International level and the IPL have him out of favour of the selectors as of now. Shankar has more or less revived his form at IPL 2023 when he scored 301 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 143.5 playing for Gujarat Titans. Shankar is not bowling as he used to and is playing in the 11 as a pure batsman. It remains to be seen if he resumes bowling at the TNPL 2023.
