Prithvi Shaw Pura Raat Bahar Rahe, Subah 6 Baje Hotel Wapas Aaye:
Mumbai Cricket Association ne Prithvi Shaw ke Vijay Hazare Trophy squad se exclusion par unke emotional outburst ka jawab diya hai, aur kaha hai ki Shaw ka discipline aur fitness hamesha se issue raha hai.
Ek MCA official ne PTI se baat karte hue bataya, “Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy ke dauraan humein Shaw ko field mein chhupana padta tha, kyunki unki fitness itni poor thi. Ball unke paas se guzar jaati thi aur woh usse barely reach kar paate the.” Official ne yeh bhi kaha ki yeh sirf batting ka issue nahi tha, balki overall fitness aur discipline ki kami thi.
Shaw ne apne frustration ko social media par express kiya tha jab unhe Vijay Hazare Trophy ke 16-member squad mein jagah nahi mili, jabki unki team ne Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy jeeta tha. MCA officials ne unki post ko as an ineffective attempt dekhte hue usse downplay kiya.
Shaw ke off-field activities bhi concern ban gayi thi. Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy ke dauraan woh kaafi baar training miss karte the aur raat bhar bahar rehte the, hotel subah 6 baje wapas aate the.
Mumbai ke captain Shreyas Iyer ne bhi Shaw ke behavior ko lekar apni baat rakhi thi, “Usko apna work ethic thik karna hoga. Usme potential hai, lekin hum usse babysit nahi kar sakte. Uska kaam hai apne aapko samajhna.”
Pehle bhi Shaw ko Mumbai ke Ranji Trophy squad se similar discipline issues ki wajah se drop kiya gaya tha, aur usse MCA Academy mein ek fitness program diya gaya tha, jo woh reportedly follow nahi kar rahe.
Shaw ne 2018 mein West Indies ke against apne Test debut par century banayi thi, lekin uske baad unka performance down ho gaya. Unhone bas 4 aur Tests kheli hain, last 2020 mein. White-ball cricket mein bhi unka career kuch khaas nahi raha, aur unhone India ke liye ODI ya T20I cricket nahi khela 2021 ke baad.
IPL auction mein ₹75 lakh ke base price par bhi Shaw ke liye koi takers nahi the, aur yeh unki career ki sabse badi disappointment thi.
“MCA official ne ant mein kaha, ‘Koi uska dushman nahi hai. Woh apna sabse bada dushman hai.'”
Ab Shaw ko apne approach mein kaafi changes karni hongi, agar woh dobara spotlight mein aana chahte hain.
