Shock is necessary to wake up from sleep, Parth Jindal commented on Prithvi Shaw

New Delhi. Parth Jindal, co-owner of IPL franchise Delhi Capitals, says that Prithvi Shaw was misunderstood in many ways. But Jindal is also saying at the same time that the earth needed a ‘shock’. Right-handed batsman Prithvi Shaw was not bought by any team in the IPL 2025 mega auction. he/she remained unsold. Last season, Prithvi was a part of the Delhi Capitals team but in recent times his/her performance has declined significantly. These days he/she remains in the news for reasons other than sports. Prithvi’s fitness is getting worse day by day. The young talent who was initially being touted as the next Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar is now shooting himself in the foot. Prithvi was also dropped by the home team Mumbai due to obesity.

Speaking to India Today, Parth Jindal said, ‘he/she is a wonderful child. However, he/she was misunderstood in many ways. When you grow up hearing all your life that you are very special, the most talented. When you are compared with Brian Lara or the great Sachin Tendulkar, it creates pressure. This is the shock he/she probably needed. Shaw was a part of the Delhi Capitals team after making the Under-19 team the world champion under his/her captaincy in 2018. Delhi had then signed him/her for Rs 1.2 crore. Before the 2022 auction, this Mumbai batsman was retained by Delhi for Rs 7.5 crore. But in the last few seasons, there has been a big decline in the form of this 25 year old batsman. he/she is not able to do great wonders with the bat.
