Prithvi Shaw was defrauded of Rs 8 crore!

While talking to Geo Cinema, Kaif said that it should be a shame that he could not find any buyer. He shared his experiences about Shaw when he was in the coaching panel of Delhi Capitals. Kaif said that Delhi Capitals has supported him a lot. He is the only player who cannot complain that he did not get a chance in the playing eleven.
How Shaw spoiled the situation for himself, understand from Kaif’s words
Kaif said that Delhi Capitals gave Shaw continuous opportunities in the playing eleven, yet he could not cement his place in the team. To explain this, Kaif also told an incident related to team selection. He said that at night we used to decide that we will 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 continues then victory is certain. But he never lived up to this expectation.
