Prithvi Shaw is fighting to survive
Meanwhile, Prithvi Shaw’s career took a spiral downwards. Once India’s next batting, he is now fighting to stay in the competition. The 25 -year -old opener was dropped from the Mumbai team due to ongoing fitness concerns for the 2024/25 season.
He lost his place in the Ranji Trophy squad at the beginning of the season, and although he returned briefly for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he was once again dropped from the Vijay Hazare Trophy team. To make the cases worse, Shaw was unusable in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
