Mohammed Kaif criticizes Prithvi Shaw after unsold IPL auction bid in Jeddah

Prithvi Shaw went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction, which concluded in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The 25-year-old, who played for Delhi Capitals since 2018, had a base price of ₹ 75 lakh but attracted no bids. Former cricketer Mohammed Kaif criticized Shaw, stating it is embarrassing for him not to be picked. Kaif noted that Shaw received significant support from Delhi Capitals but struggled to maintain consistent performance. Kaif compared Shaw's situation to Sarfaraz Khan, who made a comeback to the national team by scoring heavily in domestic cricket. He suggested that Shaw may need to refocus on his fundamentals to revive his career.
