Former blistering Indian batter Virender Sehwag has come up with a very hard stance on the young Indian batter Prithvi Shaw for the latter’s poor run of form. Notably, Shaw’s batting misery is also continuing in the ongoing edition of the Indian T20 League 2023.
"Prithvi Shaw should also learn from his mistakes. Look at Shubman Gill, who played U19 cricket with him and now playing all 3 formats for India, but Shaw is still struggling in IPL. Ruturaj Gaikwad also scored 600 odd runs in an IPL season,” said Sehwag while advising Shaw to learn from the youngsters of his age group like Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Although a section of the Indian cricket fans took it as an opportunity to troll Prithvi Shaw; they immediately rushed to the micro-blogging site Twitter to troll Shaw with some hilarious and witty reactions or responses.
Here’s how fans reacted:
Learning wo kya hota hai? DP hatana hai toh batao

Praithvi Shaw has very BIG flaw in his batting.. He can smash all local bowlers out of park but not against quality bowlers.... Fast bowler who can keep ball just short of length at his body then he is gone mainly for wrong pull shot which he can play freely against locals...
