Prithvi Shaw urged to improve work ethics for success

Prithvi Shaw has been encouraged to change his views on work ethics and discipline to revive his cricket career. Shashank Singh, a player for Punjab Kings, believes that Shaw can return to his former success if he makes these changes. Shaw gained fame after leading India to victory in the U19 World Cup in 2018. He had a promising start in international cricket, even scoring a century on his Test debut. However, his recent performance has declined. Shaw was dropped from the Mumbai Ranji Trophy team and went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Reports suggest he has struggled with discipline and meeting expectations. On a YouTube show, Shashank shared his thoughts on Shaw’s potential. He mentioned that Shaw must return to the basics and improve his work ethic and discipline. He expressed confidence that Shaw could achieve greatness but noted that Shaw needs a shift in perspective. Former Australian captain Greg Chappell also reached out to Shaw. After Shaw's absence from the Mumbai squad due to poor fitness and conduct, Chappell wrote him a letter encouraging self-reflection and focusing on the process over results. Chappell reminded Shaw that facing setbacks is a part of every athlete's journey and can help shape their careers. Shaw has played 5 Tests, 6 ODIs, and 1 T20I for India, scoring a total of 561 runs across all formats.
