Former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull has criticised Delhi Capitals (DC) opener Prithvi Shaw for his poor batting performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). His underwhelming outing with the bat was one of the reasons for DC’s five-game losing streak in the IPL 2023. The 23-year-old batter appeared in DC’s six games but only scored 47 runs, including two ducks.
“You cannot continue down the same road. If things are not working you have to change it up and he has to understand where he is at in his game. Right now, it’s just not good enough. There was an incident with the run-out situation with Warner in Bangalore.
“He sat on the backside of the bench the whole time when Delhi were fielding and did nothing and later when he came out he was lazy with the running. These little things in the game matter and it comes back to haunt you at times. He has had a poor season and I don’t think he is fit at all and has neither adjusted his game as such. He has paid the price,” Doull told Cricbuzz.
