Vinayak Shukla made his T20I debut in December 2024, hitting 40 off 18 balls from No. 6 to help his team post a 200-plus total in a win against Qatar. Six days later, in the same tournament, he made his first international half-century, when he came in in the 12th over against Kuwait, with Oman struggling at 67 for 4, and scored an unbeaten 52 off 29 balls.

He made his ODI debut in February 2025.

Shukla has been an impactful addition to Oman's batting so far both as a batter and wicketkeeper. He became the captain of Oman side since 7 July 2026.
