Disappointed Fans Are Trolling Prithvi Shaw After He Failed To Perform In Both The Innings Against New Zealand

Unnati MadanBy Unnati Madan23/02/2020Updated:09/02/2023No Comments4 Mins Read

The young Indian opening batsman Prithvi Shaw has found himself at the receiving end of criticism because of his consistently poor performances in the ongoing two-match series against New Zealand.

Team India is without their regular opener Rohit Sharma who was ruled out after he faced an injury during the final T20I match against New Zealand. In his absence, Prithvi was picked ahead of Shubman Gill as the second opener for Team India with Mayank Agarwal for the first test, however, he has failed to make the most of his opportunities in both the innings he played with scores of 16 and 14 only.
In the first innings, Prithvi Shaw had smashed two fours but never looked settled and was eventually dismissed by a Tim Southee’s half-volley outswinger.
In the second innings, the U-19 world cup winning captain seemed to have not learned from his past mistakes as he showed discomfort while playing. He was dismissed off Trent Boult’s delivery that he dug up in from around the wicket that left Shaw surprised. The ball eventually landed in the hands of Tom Latham.
Before this, Prithvi Shaw played his last test match way back in October 2018, however, after an ankle injury he was sidelined. Later in 2019, he was suspended for a doping violation and thus, he missed the West Indies tour and then also the home series against Bangladesh and West Indies.

While Shubman Gill is yet to make his Test debut for Team India and Rohit Sharma being ruled out of the series, it will be interesting to see whether Prithvi Shaw will be given another chance in the second Test match or India will go for Shubman Gill.
Meanwhile, the fans are very disappointed with the way Prithvi Shaw has played in the two innings for India and are thus, trolling him left, right and center. There are many who are questioning Team management for picking ‘unprepared’ Prithvi Shaw for the game, on the other hand, there are many who wants the inclusion of Shubman Gill in place of Prithvi Shaw.
Here, check out the reactions of Twitterati on this:

Prithvi Shaw is an exciting talent, but there are quite a few ways bowlers can work him out at the moment

Prithvi Shaw has been so scrappy and shitty in both the innings ,how does he get to open for India ? Oh yeah arm chair experts,silly commentators, selectors and Mumbai board ensures that I guess #NZvIND

— Chida Murthy (@chidamn) February 23, 2020

The sooner Prithvi Shaw realises that he is no Sehwag, the better it will be for him #NZvIND

— Rameshwar Singh (@RSingh6969a) February 23, 2020

It looks Prithvi Shaw is a flat track bully. He needs to grind in domestic cricket to know d price of selection for India. Meanwhile what happens to Priyank Panchal last year’s highest run getter.? He & Mayank ver vying opener slot cud nt get even one chance, does he nt deserve?

— Ved (@kanisshk) February 23, 2020

One test match and people calling Prithvi Shaw over rated already. Indian cricket fans I tell you! ?

— Vasanth ? (@gully_point) February 23, 2020

Prithvi Shaw should stick to selling apheem outside juhu beach

— Akki (@CrickPotato) February 23, 2020

#AskStar vvs sir, don’t you think the technique shown by prithvi shaw in this match has opened the door for S gill in next match

— Shankar Yadav (@Shankar23069300) February 23, 2020

Stays very much leg side of the ball does Prithvi Shaw. With that sort of positioning he will find it hard facing balls to his ribcage.
Sanjay Bangar doing some great analysis of his technique on commentary.#NZvsIND

— Prashanth S (@ps_it_is) February 23, 2020

Sorry to say, but Technique of prithvi shaw is very poor in seaming and Swinging condition…#NZvIND

— Abhishek kumar (@Abhishek0937) February 23, 2020

don’t you think in any team openers should be experienced. In absence of Rohit Instead of Prithvi Shaw we would have played KL Rahul as an opener. @StarSportsIndia #askstarsports

— Suhas Malaji (@suhas_m) February 23, 2020

I think team India try Shubhnam gill as a opner in the place of Prithvi Shaw @StarSportsIndia @VVSLaxman281 #askstar

— kashish parjapati (@199kumarkashish) February 23, 2020

Prithvi Shaw you please come to India and play Domestic Cricket ?? @PrithviShaw #INDvsNZ #NZvsIND @StarSportsIndia
