Willing to bat at number four if asked, all-rounder Vijay Shankar says he is not competing with Hardik Pandya for a slot in India's playing eleven during the World Cup.

The Tamil Nadu all-rounder has been projected as a possible candidate for the number four slot after some impressive performances for India during tour of New Zealand. His and Pandya's strength areas are completely different from each other and perhaps that is the reason he feels he is not in any race with with Pandya.
