Youngster Prithvi Shaw was in sublime form in domestic cricket last season but he is not in good form so far in IPL 2023. More so, the Delhi franchise is using the opener as an Impact Player and that has been very surprising to former India cricketer Ravi Shastri.
“I think a player of his quality and age, he wants to be in the thick of things all the time. He should want to and not say I’m happy to be an Imapct Player. It’s not a good sign and it won’t help. I mean he is young. You want him to be part of everything, to be in the mix and contribute with a catch to through fielding, get into good habits there rather than being in the habit of – I’m only going to bat and then feet up in the dressing room. That is not good for a guy at his age,” Shastri said ahead of Delhi’s match against Mumbai as quoted by Hindustan Times.
Delhi suffered their fourth straight defeat in IPL 2023
Against Mumbai Indians, Shaw started well as he scored 15 runs off 10 deliveries but once again failed to make the most of his start. Meanwhile, Delhi’s middle order once again failed to up a show as David Warner and Axar Patel’s valuable knock helped the franchise post 172 runs on board.
