I guess Shikadai already knows everything about Boruto.His behavior, his set of jutsus and the way he thinks.Boruto probably didn't even think about how Shikadai thinks.He was too arrogant with the Kote.It was already shown that the Kote made him too dependent on it and not on his own skills.Had Boruto been without the Kote, he would have thought better.Since he would not have the luxary of the Kote, you see.

And anyway, He could have just used his clones and keep on dodging shikadi's attacks until he loses alot of his chakra.Plus, the Vanishing Rasengan would not be expected.
