Prithvi Shaw could not find takers at the IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Out-of-favour India batter Prithvi Shaw is having a tough time in cricket. He could not find any takers at the IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The 2018 U-19 World Cup winning captain was seen as the next big thing in Indian cricket, but his downfall in the past few years has taken him out of consideration for the Indian cricket team. What has become worse is the fact that Shaw will not be seen playing in IPL in the upcoming season too. Twice his name came up at the auction and despite a base price of Rs 75 lakh, not one paddle went up for him.
This will be the first time since Shaw's IPL debut, in 2018, that the right-handed batter will not feature in a season.
Apart from lack of form, Shaw has also received a lot of criticism for his behaviour and fitness from various former India cricketers and experts. Now a former India selector has questioned his improvement.
"Prithvi has been in Delhi Capitals. In DC itself, he had a chance to interact with Rahul Dravid, who was also his U-19 India coach, Ricky Ponting, Sourav Ganguly," a former India selector, who has watched Shaw from close quarters told PTI.
