Prithvi Shaw is certainly going through the toughest time in his cricket career. The right-handed batter, once touted to be the “next Sachin Tendulkar“, could not find any takers at the IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia held last month. The 2018 U-19 World Cup-winning captain was seen as the next big thing in Indian cricket, but his downfall in the past few years has taken him out of consideration for the Indian cricket team. Shaw was even dropped from Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad before going unsold at the IPL auction at a base price of Rs 75 lakh. He is currently playing for Mumbai in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy but has failed to impress with his game so far.

Ex-BCCI selector Jatin Paranjape feels that the youngster needs a “complete overhaul of his mental thinking”. Paranjape shared his opinions in his column for Sportstar.

Paranjape, who also holds the experience of playing 4 ODIs for India besides appearing in 62 First-Class and 44 List A games, also pointed out that Shaw needs to lose some weight to get fitter.

“If I were Prithvi, I would quickly evaluate and conclude that fitness is a major missing piece in his game. Without it, his future in cricket is uncertain. I would stress this aspect: if he can lose between 7 to 10 kilograms of body weight without losing strength, that would be a crucial start,” the former BCCI selector said.

“If I were in his position, I would camp in Chennai with Ramji Srinivasan for 10 days and completely dedicate the next two or three years to this transformation. The results would begin to show in the next 45 to 60 days,” he added.

Paranjape further said that Shaw needs to improve his game against spin and make sure he doesn’t lose his wicket easily.

“Let’s move on to the skills part. I have often told him that he seems overly generous with his wicket, particularly against spinners. Almost every domestic spinner in India has managed to get him out. He needs to reevaluate his game against spin,” he said.

“I’ll Retire After Playing With Your Son”: Two-Time World Cup Winner’s Epic Reply To Prithvi Shaw

Age is just a number. Some of the Indian players have actually proved this with their performances. There is a long list of such players that includes the likes of MS Dhoni and Piyush Chawla. The two are still active in the Indian Premier League. While Chawla is 35, 43-year-old Dhoni is also aging like fine wine. Both the players were the part of IPL 2024. Dhoni appeared for Chennai Super Kings and Chawla played for Mumbai Indians. Though both of them are close to their retirements from the game of cricket, neither Dhoni nor Chawla have shown any keen interest towards the decision.

“Will Piyush Chawla retire first or MS Dhoni,” asked host Shubhankar Mishra on his show.

“Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni),” replied Chawla before sharing a laugh.

“A while ago, Prithvi Shaw told me ‘PC bhai bas karo yaar ab’. I said, I’ve played with Sachin paaji, and now playing with his son. I am playing with you, and after playing with your son, I will retire,” the veteran India spinner added.

Chawala made his India debut in 2007. Besides being MS Dhoni’s India teammate, Chawla has also been the member of India’s 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup winning teams. Notably, Dhoni was the captain of the side in both the events.

Dhoni called time on his international career in 2020, but out-of-favour Chawla has not made any formal announcement of his retirement.

In another interview, Dhoni’s former India teammate Mohammed Shami had revealed the player’s retirement strategy.

“You (media) guys have been putting a question mark on his future. The man himself says, ‘Dekha Jayega’ (let’s see),” Shami had said on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel.

“I had this conversation with Mahi bhai, asking ‘When should a player retire?’. He said, ‘First when you yourself get bored and second, Jab lage ki laat padne wali hai (when you realise that you would be kicked out of the team).’

“But the first and foremost thing is that when you stop enjoying the game, it’s a sign that your time has come. Better you choose the best moment to retire. Because your body starts intimating you if you can’t sustain a particular format. That’s when a player should call it time,” Shami had added.
