Prithvi Shaw on Social Media Trolling: There is no dearth of cricket talent in India. It is discipline that helps a cricketer survive for a long time at the international level. There was no doubt about the talent of batsman Prithvi Shaw, but it was his discipline that disappointed him. Once the ICC, while praising him, had described him as a big name in the cricket world in the future. But now leave aside Team India, this 25 year old player has brought himself to such a point that he remained unsold in IPL 2025.
The player who used to be compared with Sachin Tendulkar- Virender Sehwag, the player in whom people used to see Brian Lara, now the condition of the same player has deteriorated. Looking at this player it seems that success comes a little late but no one gets such a down fall. There was a time when this player created a stir from IPL to Team India, but this fame lasted only for a few years for him. Now such a time has come in his career that he is neither in IPL nor in Team India. For the first time in his short career, Prithvi Shaw will not be a part of IPL.
After the IPL auction, a video of Prithvi Shaw is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In this video, Shaw is seen saying, “If a person is not following me, then how will he troll me? It means he has his eyes on me. So I think trolling is not good, but it It’s not a bad thing. I see all the trolling and memes on me. It makes me sad sometimes.”

In another video, Shaw said, “If I look now, people say he’s out and not practicing. But I’m thinking – it’s my birthday. Can’t I celebrate? I’m thinking.” I know what I have done wrong but if there is nothing wrong, it should be shown that way.”

Prithvi Shaw was retained by Delhi before IPL 2022 and he too did not find any buyer even at his base price of Rs 75 lakh. Shaw did not perform well for Delhi in the last two seasons after which he was dropped for Abhishek Porel in the last season. Recently he was also dropped from Mumbai’s Ranji team.
Poor form, fitness and lack of discipline are the biggest enemies of this batsman. Shaw often remains in the limelight and is seen in different parties, which also becomes the reason for his trolling. Now he has become a means of trolling only for cricket fans and this thing has started hurting him too. Prithvi Shaw has played 79 matches in IPL, in which he scored 1892 runs. During this period, Prithvi Shaw scored 14 half-century innings. In his international career, he played 5 Tests, 6 ODIs and 1 T20 match. Currently, Prithvi Shaw is preparing for his comeback by focusing on fitness.
