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

[jnaveen1980]

Injury derailed his career completely

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.

 

[FearlessRoar]

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..

 

[sweep_shot]

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.

Maybe it’s just me but has he lost a bit of weight here?

I think it's just you. From the time in Aus to now he looks much bulkier.

"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

 

[Bewal Express]

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.

 

[JaDed]

Another fall like Chand, goes unsold in IPL?

Just shows raw talent is useless without disciplined professionalism and dedication to learn.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

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.

Discipline problems, weight problems, refusal to listen to advice problems, won’t try to improve problems.

He has burnt all his bridges.

As per reports, from outsiders like his once IPL coach Ponting, to players he’s played with like his captain domestic FVLC captain Rahane, to the BCCI, people have lost faith.

And on top of that he ends up looking like an overweight slug.

At a time when everyone single position in the ICT probably has 2/3 people in contention, that attitude won’t cut it. Not for someone at the beginning of his career.

I am not so sure. Does Ind have 20 openers better than shaw or even 10. Something doesn't feel right about how they have treated him.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

I am not so sure. Does Ind have 20 openers better than shaw or even 10. Something doesn't feel right about how they have treated him.

I spoke of 2/3 competitors for every position, not 10 or more.

So for example in his position as opener, he’s got Jaiswal, Rohit, Gill as solid competitors who he certainly can’t replace for now. With guys like Patidar, Sai Sudarshan being tried out.

Is he talented? Absolutely we had such high hopes from him.

But where there is huge competition, for spots for the Indian team, one has to stay fit, focused and keen. With an almost obsessive commitment. Waiting months and years even for a chance. And if you’re struggling with fitness, be focused or keen. But he hasn’t measured up to any metric.

There’s no conspiracy, it’s happening because of his own faults.

Look at Ashwin and Jadeja. Champion bowlers, Jaddu is a fantastic, some would say great, Test all rounder. Great commitment, desire to play. Long track record of proven excellence. But even they get dropped.

So in that context a noob like Shaw isn’t special. Especially when it seems he isn’t bothered.

 

[Croma]

i remember vaguely... i could be wrong... he went to Aus, he was preferred over Gill... He unfortunately twisted his foot while fiendling and got injured... Gill took his place and performed well... and Prithvi was relegated to the sidelines.

My guess is... this took a mental toll on him and he was never able to return as India has too much talent waiting in the wings (batting-wise)

He has never been the same since... got bald as well at early age ( i wonder if this affects one mentality as well)

Life has been cruel to him... that injury changed his life to the worse... He is still young though... if he can overcome his mental blocks... he can rise back up... I just hope he has it in him to FIGHT and not give up...

all the best lad!

 

[Smbhayi]

Surprised to see no one taking him.. Must be due to his attitude.. Otherwise he's way better than the likes of Iyer's in this format.. Hope he'd recalled midway in the tournament..

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Shaw’s former coach, Jawala Singh, who worked with him for three years, during a recent interaction, explained the reason why Shaw failed to find any buyers, he said:

“Prithvi came to me in 2015 and was with me for three years. And when he came, he had not played Mumbai Under-16 matches, and his father asked me to guide him. Then in next year, he played the Under-19 Cooch Behar Trophy and scored big in selection matches. And I worked very hard on him. He was talented from the beginning; I will not take full credit because many coaches have worked for him, but at that time it was only me. I was excited when he played in the Under-19 World Cup because he was my first student to do so. Before leaving for the Under-19 World Cup, he had celebrated his birthday with me. But after that, I have not seen him; that was 2017, we are in 2024; I have not seen him; he has not come to me,"

 

[Ab Fan]

I am not so sure. Does Ind have 20 openers better than shaw or even 10. Something doesn't feel right about how they have treated him.

He had technical flaws since start of his career but people were busy with the overhyping of his ability which was mostly noticeable on flat decks or non test standard opposition.

You need to up your game to transitioned yourself from a young talented batsman who had the hunger for runs to an international batsman playing for his country. He just lost that desire after his technical flaws were exploited all over the place and he had to work hard. A sign of mentally weak cricketer because he never made it to international level after the initial potential. Never really got going in IPL also.

Rohit
Jaiswal
Gill
KL Rahul
Dhawan
Ruturaj
Abhishek
Kishan
Samson
V Iyer
Paddikal
Prabhsimran

They all have gone past him.

 

[Hikaru]

Not a very likeable bloke. At this point, BCCI, IPL or fans, he has been written off by everyone and nobody even cares. This guy self-destructed.

'He must've earned 30-40 crore by age of 23. Even an IIM graduate doesn't...': Prithvi Shaw given Vinod Kambli's example


The fact that Prithvi Shaw didn't find a single taker at the IPL 2025 mega auction continues to draw reactions. After Mohammad Kaif, a former selector, and Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal had their say on Shaw going unsold in Jeddah, Pravin Amre, who worked closely with the 25-year-old during their time together at DC, has opened up on the youngster's curious case. Amre hinted that Shaw perhaps couldn't handle the fame and exposure to the glamorous lifestyle of being a cricketer.

Shaw recently bought a penthouse in Bandra, one of Mumbai's poshest localities. While he is just 25, Shaw witnessed a terrific rise initially, being touted as the next big thing in Indian cricket, winning the Under-19 World Cup for India in 2018 and landing a lucrative contract with the Capitals around the same time. But as he climbed the ladder of success, Amre feels Shaw got a bit carried away, which caused indiscipline to creep up in his game. Shaw was given former India cricketer Vinod Kambli's example – of what not to do – but Amre believes that didn't help him either.

"Three years back, I gave him Vinod Kambli's example. I've seen Kambli's downfall from close quarters. It's not easy to teach certain things to this generation. Thanks to being retained by DC, Prithvi must have earned ₹30-40 crore by the time he was 23. Will even an IIM graduate get that type of money? When you earn so much at such a young age, you tend to lose focus. It's important that you know how to manage money, have good friends and prioritise cricket," Amre told Times of India in an interview.

In 2018, Shaw made an impact straightaway when he scored a century on his Test debut for India and earned himself a place in the squad for the 2018/19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, before he could play even a single game of that series, Shaw suffered a gnarly ankle injury during India's practice match and was ruled out. From there, it all went downhill. In early 2020, the BCCI suspended Shaw for eight months after he tested positive for terbutaline, a banned substance found in cough syrups. Reports of indiscipline surfaced around the same time, to the extent that the great Sachin Tendulkar had a word with him, too.

But things didn't improve. Over the years, Shaw has landed himself in multiple controversies, the most infamous being a tiff with an influencer. Shaw was recently dropped from Mumbai's Ranji Trophy squad on account of being overweight and indiscipline. He is currently playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, scoring 33 and 0 in two matches thus far.

"It's so disappointing to see that a talent like him is going in reverse direction. Someone told me that before he left for Mumbai for the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy, Prithvi cracked a superb century in a practice match at the Cricket Club of India.

"Even today, he can hit a 30-ball fifty in the IPL. Maybe he couldn't handle the glamour and money, the side-effects of the IPL. His example can be a case study in Indian cricket. What's happening to him shouldn't happen to other cricketers. Talent alone can't take you to the top. The three Ds - discipline, determination and dedication - are important," Amre added.

While at DC, Shaw worked with some of the game's greats – Ricky Ponting and Sourav Ganguly – but to no avail. In fact, Ponting, once a huge admirer of his Shaw, recently gave up on him, like many more. IPL 2021 was his most successful season, where he scored 479 runs, but the next three years collectively fetched him just 587 runs from 26 matches. That indiscipline was indeed a factor behind Shaw's downfall was confirmed by Amre, who witnessed it from close quarters. However, Amre hopes that Shaw learns from this and emerges stronger.

"When DD bought him, he had just captained the India U-19 team to the World Cup title. Delhi was the first IPL team to really back his talent. At that time, ₹1.2 crore was a big amount. Next year, he performed well in the first game itself, smashing 99 off just 55 balls against KKR. From that match onwards, Delhi kept faith in him. However, even after backing him for six years, the DC management was left hurt. It was his indiscipline which hampered Prithvi's performance. That hunger to come back and do well was missing," Amre said.

"I was there in the management when we backed him, but I was also in the decision-making group which dropped him due to indiscipline. It wasn't about punishment, we wanted him to come on the right path. I hope he takes this IPL auction snub positively. It's an eye-opener for him. He's still got age on his side. He's just 25."

Prithvi Shaw has only himself to be blamed. He went down the wrong path of addiction. Both Shubhman Gill and Abhishek Sharma played under his captaincy in U19 world. Look where they have reached and where Shaw is now.

I saw a picture yesterday of Sachin and Kambli. Hope history wont repeat here.

I saw a picture yesterday of Sachin and Kambli. Hope history wont repeat here.

Kambli was born in era where commercialization had just begun. When Tendulkar signed a contract with WorldTel for 30 crores he was only 22. Kambli was 23. He was part of the side. So he knew the incentive he gets if he plays well. He played for India 6 years after that. His performance was not upto the mark. Rahul Dravid was breathing down his neck. Also Hemang Badani was emerging around the same time as a left hander. It can happen to any player. But whatever happens after that was solely on Kambli. Rahul Dravid was goign from strength to strength. Even he had to do double duty of keeping and batting to find a spot in the XI. Laxman started emerging after 2001 series. Then Sehwag emerged. Kambli had to put out extraordinary domestic performance to get back into the side which he never did. He averaged 9.16 in 4 matches in Ranji Trophy in the following season.He couldn't find a spot in Irani Trophy. Laxman and Mongia sizzled in that match. With competition heating up in his age group he just could not get back his mojo.

 

[Savak]

The guy is living in a Lavish penthouse at the young age of 24 and is worth Rs 30-40 crores i.e. $4.5 million even during his darkest phase.

Just look at his house, he has more than everything a man needs and is clearly not hurting for money at this time. He has every resource at his disposal to be the best possible version and can invest in a nutritionist, a personal trainer and devote time to his game.

Lol at the desperation to suck up to Indian Cricketers and to get limelight in India and be in favour for IPL coaching, commentatory, analyst gigs. There are plenty of other non-indian players who are doing injustice to their talents, you will not see the likes of Shane Watson, Kevin Pieterson reach out to them to lift their spirits.

Prithvi Shaw Declared 'His Own Enemy' As 'Nobody Else Can Help Him'

Prithvi Shaw made his India Test debut at the age of 18 and peeled off a century to make a grand entry into international cricket. The performance was in line given the potential he showed in age-group competitions and first-class cricket. Unfortunately, he failed to build on the debut show as his career took a turn for the worse. Inconsistency combined with off-field issues pushed him off the national selectors’ radar and despite showing signs of revival in domestic cricket a couple of seasons ago, his career continues to veer off the track.

Recently, he went unsold at the IPL mega auction which has resulted in more scrutiny over his dipping performances and questionable attitude.

Former India cricketer Pravin Amre who has coached Shaw at IPL franchise Delhi Capitals feels that the 25-year-old needs to lose weight and only he can help himself now.

“What we want, to be honest, is that he loses 10 kgs and becomes match fit," Shaw was quoted as saying by The Indian Express. “What is stopping him is his fitness. Nobody has a doubt about his cricketing skill. He is God-gifted but the problem is, he is his own enemy."

“Now, I don’t think anybody can motivate him. Everybody tried and I think he has to motivate himself now. Nobody else can help him. If you are going through a tough time, go and hit the nets. He has to hit the gym and the nets both," Amre added.

Amre feels that Shaw needs to put some work on his footwork which has been impacted by his weight.

“He (Shaw) should not go in a reverse direction now from here. He is now an adult, to be honest, he has to help himself right now. He has good hand-eye coordination. But for that timing, he needs to have proper footwork. And because of that body weight, he is late on the ball. He is not able to transfer the weight, his feet are not moving. He is not in the right position. And that is why we want him to work on his fitness," Amre said.

Shaw, who was dropped from Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad after a series of low scores, is currently part of their Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy campaign.

Prithvi Shaw is his own enemy: MCA official on batter after Vijay Hazare Trophy axe​

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has brushed aside Prithvi Shaw’s emotional outburst after his exclusion from the Vijay Hazare Trophy squad, asserting that the temperamental batter has flouted disciplinary norms regularly and is “his own enemy”.

A senior official of the MCA, while talking to PTI, claimed that the side was at times “forced to hide” him on the field due to his poor fitness, discipline and attitude.

Shaw had expressed his frustration at not being picked in the 16-member squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy in a viral social media post some days ago after being a part of the side’s title-winning Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaign.

"In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, we were playing with 10 fielders as we were forced to hide Prithvi Shaw. The ball would pass near him and he would barely be able to get to it,” the official said on conditions of anonymity.

“Even while batting, we could see he was troubled reaching to the ball. His fitness, discipline and attitude are poor and it is pretty simple, there cannot be different rules for different players,” he claimed.

“Even the seniors in the team have started complaining about his attitude now,” he added.

During the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Shaw missed training sessions regularly after showing up at the team hotel at “six in the morning” being out for most of the night.

The youngster has defended himself by sayin Shaw, who has attracted a lot of attention for his off-field activities and not doing his talent justice by focussing on his game, would not get any favour from such social media posts, the official said.

"You would be wrong to think such posts on social media would have any impact on the Mumbai selectors and the MCA,” he added.

Shaw’s teammate and Mumbai captain Shreyas Iyer too had issued a stern statement on the night Mumbai defeated Madhya Pradesh in the final to win the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

“He needs to get his work ethics right. And if he does that, (the) sky’s the limit for him,” Iyer told reporters in Bengaluru.

“We can’t babysit anyone, right? He has played so much of cricket. Everyone has given him inputs. At the end of the day, it’s his job to figure out things for himself. And he has also done it in the past. It’s not that he hasn’t,” he added.

Shaw was earlier left out of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad for similar reasons in October after which he was given a specific fitness program to work on at the MCA Academy.

“He is not following that as well properly,” the official said.

Shaw broke into the scene amid a lot of hype, making his Test debut in 2018 as an 18-year-old in a home series against the West Indies.

His lone century in the format was on that exciting debut but since then, he has appeared in just four more Tests, the last of these being against Australia four years ago.

His ODI and T20 International career has also failed to take off and he hasn’t played any white-ball cricket for India since 2021. These are markedly underwhelming statistics for a player, who was touted as the next big thing in Indian cricket just a few years ago.

Several former players have expressed their concern about his antics and attitude both on and off the field. A recent low for him was failing to find any takers in the IPL auction despite coming in with a relatively low base price of Rs 75 lakh.

“I’ll tell you one thing. No one is Shaw’s enemy. He is his own enemy,” the MCA official stated, voicing the frustration that the cricket fraternity in India has felt over him not living up to the early promise.
