The player who used to be compared with Sachin Tendulkar-Sehwag, the player in whom people used to see Brian Lara, now the condition of the same player has deteriorated. We are talking about Prithvi Shaw, who did not find any buyer in the IPL 2025 auction. The base price of Prithvi Shaw was only 75 lakhs but no one bet on this player. Prithvi Shaw was in Delhi Capitals for the last three seasons and he was getting Rs 8 crore but this time he did not even find a buyer. The reason for not buying a talented batsman like Prithvi Shaw is being said to be his fitness. Recently he was also dropped from the Mumbai team. He was advised to lose weight and now he had to see such a day in the IPL auction. But the question is, is IPL 2025 over for Prithvi Shaw now? Will he not be able to play in IPL now? The answer is no.
Prithvi Shaw may return
Despite not being sold in the IPL 2025 auction, Prithvi Shaw may return. IPL is a big tournament, if any player of any team gets injured then she can contact Prithvi Shaw. After this, Shaw can be included in the team at his base price. Last season, Phil Salt was also not bought by any team. He came as a replacement for Jason Roy and after this he scored 434 runs in 12 matches in IPL 2024. KKR also won this tournament. On the basis of that performance, this year Salt has been bought by RCB for a huge price of Rs 11.50 crore. Something similar can happen with Prithvi Shaw also.
Prithvi Shaw will have to show the strength of Mushtaq Ali
Even though Prithvi Shaw’s fitness is not good, this player has strength. Although Shaw is currently playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he played one match for Mumbai and against Goa this player played an inning of 33 runs in 22 balls. Shaw will have to play good innings against Mushtaq Ali. If Shaw is successful in this, then IPL teams will keep an eye on him and in case of injury to any player, this player can get entry back into IPL.
