After being dropped from the team midway through the Ranji Trophy, Shaw got another lease of life and was included in Mumbai's squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. However, he does not seem to be taking advantage of these opportunities and has been out on zero on two of the five occasions he has played so far. So far, Prithvi Shaw has recorded scores of 33, 0, 23, 40 and 0 in five matches.

Prithvi Shaw has been surrounded by controversies for quite some time now and the most recent case was his exclusion from Mumbai's Ranji Trophy team due to being overweight and indiscipline. Despite being registered at a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the IPL 2025 auction, the Mumbai opener did not receive bids from any franchise. Prithvi Shaw was also dropped from the Mumbai team and the reason was that after the test he was found to have 35% body fat, which is much more than the acceptable level for players to take the field. In such a situation, this time is really very difficult for Prithvi and if he is successful in making a comeback in IPL and Indian team, then it will be considered as the greatest comeback of any player.
