Shashank Singh supports Prithvi Shaw's talent and potential

Punjab Kings batter Shashank Singh expressed confidence in his former teammate Prithvi Shaw. He believes Shaw can return to his previous form if he changes his approach. Shaw, a talented player, faced tough times when he was not picked in the 2025 Indian Premier League auction and was dropped from the Mumbai Ranji Trophy team due to indiscipline. Shashank compared Shaw's talent to that of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill. He highlighted that if Shaw focuses on his basics and improves his work ethic, fitness, and discipline, he could achieve great success. They have known each other since playing club cricket in Mumbai, which adds to his belief in Shaw's potential. At just 25 years old, Shaw gained fame early in his career, making headlines at 14 with an impressive school cricket score. He made his Test debut in 2018, scoring a century. However, his career took a downturn in 2024 when he faced criticism for skipping practice and was dropped from his team. Australian cricket legend Greg Chappell also reached out to Shaw. He encouraged Shaw to self-reflect and focus on improving, despite his current challenges. Chappell reminded him that setbacks are common in sports and can help shape character and career. Shashank remains optimistic about Shaw's future. He believes that with determination and a new mindset, Shaw can revive his career and become a key player for Indian cricket. The opportunity is there for him to seize.
