The IPL auction put a question mark on the player's career, with fans dubbing him India's second Sachin Tendulkar.

Every day some young cricketer is emerging in India. Seeing his talent, fans start comparing the cricketer with the great players of the world. Something similar happened in the year 2018 when the Indian team won the Under-19 World Cup title under the captaincy of a player who scored many runs throughout the tournament. At that time, many IPL teams also wanted to include the player in their squad, but the player remained unsold in the recently held IPL 2025 auction.

There came a time in the player’s career when fans started comparing him with the great Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar. But now due to his controversies, this player is gradually going away from the eyes of cricket and fans. This player is none other than Prithvi Shaw. Shaw has seen a lot in his career so far.

Prithvi Shaw made his debut in international cricket in the year 2018. In the IPL, he has played a total of 79 matches for the Delhi Capitals team, but suddenly his career has taken such a downfall that it will be almost impossible for him to make a comeback. When his name came up during the IPL 2025 auction, it was expected that he would definitely be sold to some team at a low price, but that didn’t happen and he remained unsold. Prithvi Shaw was considered as the future captain of Team India, but now his condition is such that he will not even be able to play in IPL, let alone international cricket.

How has your IPL career been?

If we take a look at Prithvi Shaw’s career in IPL, he has scored 1892 runs in 79 matches playing for Delhi Capitals. His average during this period is just 23.94. However, his strike rate is very good. He bats at a strike rate of 147.46 in the IPL. Even his former team in the IPL, Delhi Capitals, did not bid for him. Delhi Capitals are known for consistently giving opportunities to young players, but in the case of Shaw, Delhi too kept silent.
