Shankar: Old Trafford gave me goosebumps

India won the match comfortably, by 89 runs, thanks to some stellar individual performances, one of which came from all-rounder and United fan Vijay Shankar, who had visited Manchester United to take part in a stadium tour on Friday afternoon.

Vijay, who was making his World Cup debut, took a wicket with his very first ball and finished with impressive bowling figures of 2-22.

Two days beforehand, the 28-year-old – who was joined on the tour by team-mates Dinesh Karthik and Yuzvendra Chahal – told us that he frequently took inspiration from his United heroes to help develop his game.
