Indian Cricketer Controversies: These days there is a line of youngsters in Indian cricket.

Especially the players who have shown their talent in IPL are a part of the young brigade of Team India these days. Recently Abhishek Sharma made his debut in the Zimbabwe series and scored a century in his second international match. On the other hand Riyan Parag also got international caps in both ODI and T20 within a month. But like these youngsters, there was another player who made his debut for the Indian cricket team at the age of just 18 and started his international career with a century. But today that player is anonymous, missing… the selectors do not want to select him. Let's know who that cricketer is:-

Comparison with legends at the start of career

Actually, the cricketer we are talking about is none other than Prithvi Shaw. Prithvi came to Team India as a very talented and brilliant player. In 2018, he made his debut against West Indies and started his international career with a century. But after the first one or two innings, the graph of his career suddenly started falling.

Initially, this player was compared to legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Brian Lara. Today, this player is yearning to make a place in Team India.

Prithvi Shaw is embroiled in not one but many controversies

Let us tell you that Prithvi's career first took a turn when he got caught in doping in 2019. He consumed a syrup that contained banned substances and he failed the dope test. After this, the BCCI banned him. However, later he returned to the team again and the ban was lifted.

Then in 2020, he was out of the team after Team India was all out for 36 runs in the Adelaide Test. From here, when the opportunity to return came, his injury became an obstacle in his way.

Rules were broken during lockdown, there was a ruckus on the road with the influencer

Even after all this, there was no peace in Shaw's life. In 2021, he was going to Goa by road during the lockdown. While everything was closed at that time. Here he got caught in the case of violation of rules.

After that, in 2023, his ruckus on the road with social media influencer Sapna Gill and her friends made a lot of headlines. In this case, his car was also vandalized. However, in this case, a case was registered against Sapna and her friends. But controversies did not leave Shaw. During this time, his height and increasing weight also started hindering his career. This is the reason why today he is yearning to make a place in Team India.

How many matches did Shaw play for Team India?

Prithvi Shaw made his Test debut for Team India in 2018, ODI in 2020 and T20 in 2021. Shaw, who started his career with a century in his first innings in Tests, has scored 339 runs in a total of 9 innings. This includes a century and two half-centuries. On the other hand, his figures in ODIs and T20s are not special. He has only 189 runs in his name in 6 ODIs without any century or half-century. He played one match in T20 International and got out on a duck. That is, Shaw's account has not been opened yet in T20 International.
