Prithvi Shaw’s childhood coach Prashant Shetty shed light on the Delhi Capitals (DC) batter’s dismal run in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. Notably, Shaw has been at the receiving end of a lot of criticism regarding his sluggish batting performance for the franchise.
“Expectations, definitely, both his and mine, weren’t met in the first few games. But this is how his game plan and mindset have been over the years. It’s on the riskier side. He takes that risk. For a player like him, the first two matches are very important,” Shetty told in an interview with News18.
“When you score early, you get momentum. Just as a team needs momentum, even Shaw needs that early momentum. It didn’t happen, and the pressure kept increasing. He is batting well, but then it takes one ball to dismiss a batter,” he added.
His spirits are high: Prashant Shetty
“His spirits are high. He is batting well in the nets. See, he is young but also experienced enough to know that if you are batting well in the nets, it can click at any moment in the match. It’s a different story if one doesn’t bat well in the nets and doesn’t get the confidence of the management. The management has given him a long run so even they have confidence in him,” said Shetty.
