Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Pointing stated that Shaw stopped training in the nets during that time. Talking about the incident, Prithvi Shaw re-calls the dark phase of his career and said his side of the story.
“This happened last year when I was scoring big runs, I wanted to keep batting but then came to a few games where I didn’t get runs at all. I kept training but didn’t get the results. So beyond a point, I got fed up and said ‘if it’s not happening, I will stop training for a bit’. Because it didn’t make sense for me,” said Shaw as quoted by Cricbuzz.
“I just switched off for a bit and took the backseat. I was so much into it that I would spend two hours batting in the nets but then I didn’t score the runs, I just let go of it for a while. That’s what Ricky sir was talking about,” added Shaw. Shaw is expected to get included in India’s squad for the upcoming T20I World Cup.
