New Delhi: Prithvi Shaw plays for Mumbai in domestic cricket. Mumbai has dropped him for the first 3 rounds of the one-day tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy. Although Prithvi’s performance in this format has been good, the association has cited his fitness and discipline. Since then, there has been a war of words between the association and Indian cricketers and this issue has become heated. However, this is not the first time that Prithvi Shaw has faced this situation. Earlier, Mumbai had also dropped him in the Ranji Trophy. Due to repeated drops, Prithvi Shaw’s career is in danger, if he has to save it, he will have to take a step like Arjun Tendulkar.
Decisions will have to be taken like Arjun Tendulkar:
Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun made his debut in domestic cricket from the Mumbai team. He made his debut in the T20 format in 2021 but did not get many opportunities to play. After this, Arjun changed his decision the very next year and made his first class debut from Goa. Now he is often seen playing with this team. After Ranji, Arjun is also a part of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Even before him, many players have achieved success after playing for weak teams. Umesh Yadav is a big example of this. He became the first player from the Vidarbha team to play a Test match for Team India. If Prithvi Shaw also moves to a small or weak team, he can benefit from it.
How will Prithvi Shaw’s career be saved from small teams?
Prithvi Shaw is currently constantly looking for opportunities to showcase his talent. This is why there is a fight going on between him and the Mumbai Cricket Association. Mumbai’s team is considered one of the strongest teams in domestic cricket. Many star cricketers are playing in it. Therefore, it becomes even more difficult for Prithvi Shaw, who is struggling with poor form, to get a chance. If he moves to a small team like Goa, he will get to play more and more matches.
Such teams have less depth, so they are looking for talented cricketers. Not only this, if Prithvi Shaw faces strong teams, he will get a chance to play against good bowlers. In such a situation, his skills will improve. Apart from this, if he performs well, he will also come in everyone’s eyes. Also, there will be a chance to become a hero for the team. The biggest example of this is Riyan Parag of Assam. He also made a place in the Indian team in this way. However, Shaw will have to work hard and perform well.
