Sachin missed to mention Vijay Shankar who took his first world cup wicket in his very first delivery. At the end of the match he scored 15 runs with 100 strike rate, took 2 wickets and grabbed a catch to his credits as well. After seeing this tweet from the Master, Many fans asked him to mention Vijay Shankar for his performance.

@vijayshankar260 played a key role too and we thoroughly enjoyed his first WC delivery 🤩.

We are pretty sure that Sachin dislikes to be partial and the God of cricket would not do something like that deliberately. Let us appreciate the team’s effort and hope for the them to lift the cup once again.
