In a recent interview, Shaw talked about his struggle, loneliness and wrong decisions. & Nbsp;
Comparison with veterans like Sachin, Sehwag and Lara
Ravi Shastri, former coach of Team India, once compared Prithvi Shaw to cricket veterans Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag. In 2018, when Shaw made his debut for India and scored a century in the first Test, it felt that Indian cricket had got his next superstar.
But within just three years, the situation changed completely. Due to continuous poor performance, Shaw was shown the way out of Team India since 2021. Gradually, his performance fell even more and his situation became that in 2025 he was also dropped from Mumbai’s Ranji team. Not only this, no team bought them even in the IPL 2025 auction.
"Nobody used to call"Prithvi Shaw’s sorrow
In a recent interview on News 24, 25 -year -old Shaw admitted that he took many wrong decisions in his career, which should be the main reason for his downfall. Due to these decisions, his career deteriorated. He said, & ldquo; I have many reasons for this collapse. I know what has actually happened. I have taken very wrong decisions many times in my life. I started giving less time to cricket. I used to practice a lot earlier, but later I also reduced to pay attention to it. & Rdquo;
He also said that when he was going through the worst phase of his career, then no big cricketer of Team India asked him till recently. Did not even call them.
He said, & ldquo; When I was struggling, at that time any & lsquo; big cricketer & rsquo; Did not call me and asked me till During this time only Rishabh Pant spoke. & Rdquo;
During the interview, Shaw further said, & ldquo; When I was selected in the Indian team, I was at the top of career at that time. When you are at the top, your friends also start becoming early. The same friend then used to take me here and there. I had become some very wrong friends. After that I was removed from the track due to all these things. & Rdquo;
He admitted that earlier he used to practice 8 hours a day, but gradually this time of his practice had come down to only 4 hours, which started affecting his game. However, Shaw further told that during all this, veteran like former player Sachin Tendulkar spoke to him and explained to him.
Shaw further said, & ldquo; During all this, Sachin sir talked to me. He has seen me and Arjun grow and playing together. I have also gone to his house many times. & Rdquo;
