[VIDEOS] Prithvi Shaw - The most overrated batsman of the millennium

Cummins had 6 or 7 injuries. He came back stronger and better. I don't think batsmen cannot cover behind "injury" excuses as they hardly do anything like a fast bowler does
His injury kinda ruled him out for an year and we have too many batsmen .
Remember Karun Nair dropped after a triple hundred, its very hard to break through.
 
Northamptonshire's Prithvi Shaw missed a hundred by just 3 runs. He was dismissed for 97 (71) in the Metro One Day Cup 2024 against Durham

He has been in some touch in this season, great to see Shaw is back with a bang.
 
Northamptonshire's Prithvi Shaw scored 72 off 59 against Worcestershire. It's his third fifty in the last three games.

Now he is averaging 58.80 in 5 innings and is the second-top scorer of the Metro Bank One Day Cup 2024.

I just can't get over Shaw getting beaten for pace by Mitchell Starc and destroying his stumps. He looked like a dear in front of head lights...

I am not taking much weight in what he is currently doing in Eng..
 
There was a lot of hype surrounding him. Just couldn't make it work in international cricket.

Can he make a return to Indian team?

I think he is nowhere near the Indian team atm. Started off with a lot of hype like the next Sachin but his failure was even bigger.

Doing well in England so far but Indian team is a tough gig to get into. He has to play indian domestics if he wants any chance.
 
"Overweight, Indisciplined" Prithvi Shaw Dropped From Mumbai's Ranji Trophy Squad

In what comes as yet another blow to Prithvi Shaw's cricketing career, the opening batter has been dropped from Mumbai's Ranji Trophy squad. Though the team management didn't provide the exact reason behind his exclusion from the team, it has been widely reported that the coaches aren't happy with his attitude towards fitness and discipline. The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) selection committee, comprising Sanjay Patil (chairman), Ravi Thaker, Jeetendra Thackeray, Kiran Powar, and Vikrant Yeligeti, has reportedly decided to leave out Shaw at least for one Ranji Trophy game.

As per a report in Cricbuzz, Shaw's indiscipline has become a big headache for the Maharashtra Cricket Association. The selectors and the team management are looking to teach Shaw a lesson by dropping him from the Ranji Trophy squad.

Reporting to net sessions late has been one of the biggest concerns for the team management when it comes to Shaw. The report claims that he doesn't take net sessions seriously and is also irregular. Many also consider him overweight, which also shows lack of discipline towards the profession he is in.

Veteran cricketers like Shreyas Iyer, Shardul Thakur, and even captain Ajinkya Rahane, are said to be pretty consistent when it comes to practice sessions. Shaw, on the other hand, misses quite a few sessions, even after getting out cheaply.

The report also claims that the decision to drop Shaw wasn't just the management and selectors' call. Even the captain and coach were keen to leave him out from the squad.

Shaw, who made his India Test debut against the West Indies in Rajkot in 2018, has seen his career going downhill over off-field issues. In the two Ranji games that Shaw has played so far this season, he has scored 7 and 12 (against Baroda), 1 and 39 not out (against Maharashtra).

As a talented batter who intends to make his Team India return on the back of consistent performances in international cricket, Shaw doesn't seem to be doing his case much good.

A prime example of "fallen from the grace".

As fans, sometimes you should be cautious while defending and overhyping any player. It sounds extremely foolish when you think that there were people calling him as next Sehwag, Sachin, Lara blah blah :inti
 
I am not sure why he is treated like the step brother of a step brother. He plays risky but his treatment seems to be poor.
