Prithvi Shaw had to pay the price for his negligence. He had to suffer punishment for it. And, the punishment he got was such that he lost Rs 8 crore. What is Prithvi Shaw's crime? You are thinking the same, right? You must also be wondering what punishment he got. Actually, the reason for why he has been in the news in the IPL auction is his punishment. His mistake was that he was careless in his game. He did not pay attention to his fitness and did not make good use of the opportunities he got in Delhi Capitals, which has also been revealed by Mohammad Kaif, who was associated with the Delhi franchise.

Prithvi Shaw got duped at Rs 8 crores!

Forget about selecting him in the IPL 2025 auction, no one even bid on him. No, not even Delhi Capitals, with which he had been continuously associated since 2018. This happened when Prithvi Shaw had set his base price at just Rs 75 lakh. Now what could be a bigger embarrassment than this? What could be a bigger punishment than this? Prithvi Shaw has been cheated of Rs 8 crore for not being a part of any IPL franchise. This is the amount he was getting from Delhi Capitals last season.

Embarrassing situation for Shaw–Kaif

Mohammad Kaif has called it a matter of shame for Prithvi Shaw that he remained unsold in the auction. Talking to Jio Cinema, Kaif said that he should be ashamed that he did not find any buyer. He shared his experiences with Shaw when he was in the coaching panel of Delhi Capitals. Kaif said that Delhi Capitals had supported him a lot. He is the only player who cannot complain that he did not get a chance in the playing eleven.

Understand from Kaif's words how Shaw spoiled the situation for himself.

Kaif said that Delhi Capitals gave Shaw continuous opportunities in the playing eleven, but despite this he could not secure his place in the team. To explain this, Kaif also told an anecdote related to team selection. He said that we used to decide at night that we would not keep Prithvi Shaw in the playing eleven. But then the next day before the match we had to change our decision because we thought that he might play a big innings. If he plays then victory is also certain. But he never lived up to this expectation.
