New Delhi: India Southampton: India all-rounder Vijay Shankar is elated over making a World Cup debut against Pakistan as the 28-year-old said the occasion was ‘very special’. “Last game has given me some confidence and making debut against Pakistan was a very special thing for me and team winning at the end of the day is very important and felt really good,” Shankar said during a pre-match press conference here on Friday. Shankar bowled a brilliant spell against Pakistan as he took two wickets and conceded just 22 runs from his 5.2 overs to help his side secure an 89-run win over Pakistan. However, Shankar is still looking to ameliorate his performance as he said: “I always look to get better in all three aspects of the game. I know I can keep getting better and bowl a lot better than what I am bowling now.
Whenever I get to the net session, I make sure I improve a bit at least.” India is all set to compete against the bottom-placed team on points table, Afghanistan, but Shankar said that for them, each team is same. “It is not about whom we are playing, I think it is about how we play as individuals. So, we always look to get better even when we go to practise session that is the only motive we have,” he said.
