Prithvi Shaw, the player who achieved fame in a very short time and perhaps he is suffering the punishment for the same. We are saying this because it was under Shaw's captaincy that India won the Under-19 World Cup title. After this, he entered Team India where he scored a century against West Indies in Rajkot at the age of just 18. After this, injury ruined his career and gradually this player disappeared from Team India. No one knew anything. However, Prithvi Shaw is so talented. You can guess this by looking at some of his innings.

When Prithvi Shaw played a stormy innings

The stormy innings of Prithvi Shaw that we are talking about, he played on the soil of England in 2023. While playing against the British, he batted spectacularly. His innings came on 9th August where he scored a double century as an opener. If you remember this inning of his, then you must be a little sorry that why such an explosive batsman is out of Team India? Injury does not appear to be the only reason.

It was even claimed in many reports that Shaw had become a little important. His weight gain is also a reason and at the same time he has also been caught in a doping case once. Perhaps this is the reason why now he is not getting a place in Team India and that too when former Indian coach Ravi Shastri has described him as a combo of Sachin-Sehwag and Lara.
