Ahead of the IPL World Cup Winner Blasts India Star Prithvi Shaw
One promising Indian cricketer who is facing challenges is Prithvi Shaw. Shaw, once considered a bright talent, is no longer considered for the national team.
He had a long injury setback too. He made a comeback in the Ranji Trophy, but barring a 159 against Chhattisgarh, he could not reach the triple figure in the five other matches that he played in the tournament. He will next be seen in Delhi Capitals colors in the Indian Premier League in 2024.
Former Australian cricket team spinner Brad Hogg feels Shaw is far from being in form.
Hogg, who has played for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, said on his YouTube channel, "Ponting will first address Prithvi Shaw's form. He is not living up to his expectations at the moment. He has got to change the way he goes about his business; he has got to gain confidence.”
Hogg added that if Shaw can up his game, it will benefit the Delhi Capitals. "Ponting will be really working on that (Shaw's form) with his strategy for the first six overs. If he can turn things around and compliment Warner, then the middle order is going to expose opposition teams," Hogg, who is a two-time World Cup winner with Australia, added.
