New Delhi: Sidelined Indian batter Prithvi Shaw celebrated his 25th birthday in pomp and show on November 9 this year. The day became further special for him as he was named in Mumbai’s list of 28 probables for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which is scheduled to be held from November 23 to December 15.
While a potential T20 comeback should be the talking point regarding Shaw, his viral video on social media has hogged the limelight instead. In the viral clip, the young Indian batter could be seen dancing and enjoying a party, presumably of his 25th birthday. Shaw shared the video on his Instagram story.

The Downfall of Prithvi Shaw
Once a promising right-hand opener, Prithvi Shaw has tragically become a fallen legend. The selectors have decided to drop his name to teach him a lesson for his recurrent discipline problems. According to reports, reporting to net sessions late has been one of the biggest concerns for the team management regarding Shaw.
Furthermore, the report claims that he doesn’t take net sessions seriously and that they are irregular. Many also consider him overweight, which also shows a lack of discipline towards the profession he is in. To explain the gravity of the situation, the selectors have given the example of veteran cricketers like Shreyas Iyer, Shardul Thakur, and even captain Ajinkya Rahane, who are said to be pretty consistent when it comes to practice sessions. Meanwhile, Prithvi Shaw has missed quite a few sessions, even after getting out cheaply.
