IPL 2023: Sehwag bashes Prithvi Shaw for repeating the same mistakes
During a conversation with Cricbuzz, the former Indian opener was absolutely livid with the way Prithvi Shaw got out. He further explained that Shaw has been dismissed in that manner countless times and yet doesn't care to pick up the lessons.
Recalling Shaw's dismissal, Sehwag echoed that it was a shortish ball from Shami that was pitched outside off. Meanwhile, Shaw failed to execute the pull shot as he ended up hitting the ball straight into Alzarri Joseph's hands at mid-on.
Sehwag further added that Shaw played those kinds of shots on many occasions. At the same time, he wants the youngster to sort out his woes. The former Indian opener wants Shaw to make use of the IPL and score as many runs to head towards the right track.
“Shaw has been dismissed playing those kinds of shots so many times, but he should also learn from his mistakes, right? Look at Shubman Gill, who played U-19 cricket with him and is now playing Test, ODIs and T20Is for India, but Shaw is still struggling in IPL. He has to make the most of this IPL platform and score runs. Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 600-odd runs in an IPL season. Shubman Gill also scored big runs. So even Shaw has to be consistent with his IPL scores,” Sehwag said.
