Vijay Shankar hasn't had the best of IPL seasons so far. When it doesn't go your way, things can be a little difficult to turn around, and the Indian batter seems to be struggling a lot. On Thursday, Shankar was brutally trolled by the netizens after he was dismissed for just 2 runs while playing for Gujarat Titans at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
Shankar came out to bat in the second over after Matthew Wade was run out by Rassie van der Dussen, and he faced just seven balls, before Rajasthan Royals youngster Kuldeep Sen got the better of him.
The latest setback against Rajasthan was the third time he was dismissed early, having been bowled by Dushmantha Chameera in GT's first match of the season, having scored just 4 runs.

In the second match against Delhi Capitals, he crossed double figures and amassed 13 runs before Kuldeep Yadav bowled him.
Vijay Shankar wasn't included in the playing XI for the two subsequent games, but making his return to the playing XI against Rajasthan, the 31-year-old couldn't impress once again.
Seeing Shankar's recent struggles, netizens brutally trolled him on Twitter.
Here's how netizens reacted to Vijay Shankar's dismissal:
Talking about the match between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans, Sanju Samson won the toss and asked Hardik Pandya's team to bat first. They got off to a shaky start as Matthew Wade was dismissed after scoring just 12 runs and then Shankar also underwhelmed.
Soon after Shubman Gill was also sent back to the dugout and at the time of writing, Gujarat had scored 54/3, after seven overs.
