Shankar is a three-dimensional player, according to Indian chief selector MSK Prasad at the time. As a result, he has earned the moniker 3D Cricketer from his followers.
In the 2014–15 Ranji Trophy knockout round, he received two man of the match award while playing for Tamil Nadu. He was declared man of the match after scoring 111 and 82 in the quarterfinal against Vidarbha. Although the match was drawn, Tamil Nadu advanced to the next round thanks to a first-innings lead. He scored 91 and picked 2/47 in the semifinal against Maharashtra to earn his second man of the match trophy. This game was also a tie, with Tamil Nadu advancing to the final on the basis of a first-innings lead. He selected 1/92 and scored 5 and 103 in the final against Karnataka.

He played one match for the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League in 2014 and four for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2017.
