Prithvi Shaw’s form slump continues in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, marking his second duck in five matches amid career struggles post-IPL auction disappointment.
Prithvi Shaw’s Form Woes Continue in Domestic Cricket
Prithvi Shaw’s rough patch in cricket deepened on Tuesday during the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024.Â
Representing Mumbai against Services at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Shaw was dismissed for a duck on just the third ball of the innings by PS Poonia.
This marks his second duck in five matches, casting further doubts on the former U-19 World Cup-winning captain’s form and career trajectory.
After going unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction, despite reducing his base price to ₹75 lakh, Shaw’s struggles have persisted in domestic cricket.
In his previous matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he scored a mere 27 against Kerala and 40 against Nagaland, following another duck against Hyderabad.

Challenges Post-IPL Auction Setback
The IPL 2025 auction added to Shaw’s woes as he failed to attract any bids, ending his six-year association with the Delhi Capitals.Â
Shaw’s struggle with form, coupled with reported fitness issues, has drawn criticism.
His exclusion from Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad earlier this year due to weight concerns underscored the growing challenges in his cricketing journey.
Comparisons and Unfulfilled Potential
Once hailed as a prodigy with the potential to emulate legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara, Shaw’s career has taken a trajectory similar to Vinod Kambli’s fall from grace.Â
Despite flashes of brilliance, including a record century on his Test debut in 2018, Shaw has been unable to cement his place in Indian cricket.
Experts believe there’s still time for Shaw to turn things around with proper guidance and consistent performances.
