‘Prithvi Shaw will come to prove a point’: Irfan Pathan | Cricket News

2 min readMar 27, 2026 05:01 PM IST Prithvi Shaw was marked as one of the big superstars in the making not long ago, and he did manage to have a decent start to his international career. However, things started to spiral down, and Shaw was not even considered by the franchises to be brought in. But this time around, Delhi Capitals have given him another opportunity, getting him for the base price of 75 lakhs, and former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan reckoned that Shaw has a point to prove, and he is hungry. “They got him at a very good price. He shifted to Maharashtra from Mumbai in domestic cricket. He was the highest run-scorer for Maharashtra in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Yes, he didn’t score in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, but he seems to be in good form. I think those hungry players who went unsold last year always come with a point to prove. Prithvi Shaw will come to prove a point,” Pathan said on his YouTube channel. “The hungry players …

3 min readNew DelhiUpdated: Mar 25, 2026 11:12 PM IST Prithvi Shaw’s season away from the IPL was one of flux. Time was spent away with family, reflecting on disappointments. State allegiances shifted from Mumbai to Maharashtra after he was dropped, unjustifiably in his eyes. It was the first prolonged period away from the limelight he had been in since he was a teenager. A return to the premier franchise league, with the team he spent seven seasons previously, may have lit a fire in the 26-year-old batter. But on the eve of what could be a decisive tournament for his future at the highest level of cricket, he insists he is not out to prove a point. “I enjoyed life for a bit. Travelled to refresh my mind. But when I came back, I did not change routines. Just worked hard on the same methods,” Shaw told reporters gathered at Delhi Capitals’ training session at the Feroz Shah Kotla grounds on Wednesday. “The only difference was that I put in three times the amount …

2 min readMar 24, 2026 07:11 PM IST England opening batter Ben Duckett has withdrawn from the upcoming 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) season to focus on his international career. The left-hander, who had been acquired by Delhi Capitals for Rs 2 crore at the 2025 auction, described the decision as “difficult” but said it was the right choice for his career. Duckett’s withdrawal means he will be ineligible to play in the tournament until 2029. The BCCI had announced ahead of IPL 2025 that any player who opts out after being bought at the auction without a legitimate reason would face a two-season ban. “It was a very difficult decision, and I want to apologise to everyone at Delhi that I won’t be coming. I felt it was going to be a great opportunity when I put myself in the auction, and for a franchise like Delhi to pick me up was amazing. I was buzzing. It’s the best competition in the world with the best players, and would have been an amazing experience.” …

Will IPL auction revive Venkatesh Iyer, Shaw?

Will IPL auction revive Venkatesh Iyer, Shaw?

Published by Parlour News

Mumbai: So many were convinced that Prithvi Shaw had the goods to come good that there was never any doubt. An instant hit on the international stage with a maiden Test hundred on debut aged 18, Shaw had chosen cricket over studies and it was paying him back. Or so it seemed. Madhya Pradesh’s Venkatesh Iyer. (PTI) It was a very different story for Venkatesh Iyer, four years older than Shaw. The Indore-born was grappling with a career decision, whether to take up a finance job at Deloitte or pursue a sports career. The all-rounder chose cricket and went on to make his first-class debut for Madhya Pradesh in 2018, the year Shaw led the U19 team to World Cup triumph. Cricket though would pay Iyer back much later. Their divergent career paths and how things transpired tells us a lot about the risks involved in elite sport. Last year, Shaw didn’t find any takers in the same IPL auction in Jeddah where Iyer landed a jackpot – ₹23.75 crore – with Kolkata Knight Riders. …

Ruturaj Gaikwad who scored a century in the 1st innings for Maharashtra against Chandigarh in a Ranji Trophy Group B encounter, shared his player of the match trophy with Prithvi Shaw in a heartfelt gesture. This was after Shaw had slammed the third fastest double hundred in Ranji Trophy history, helping Maharashtra clinch the match by 144 runs. Shaw had endured an ignominious start to his Ranji Trophy campaign last week when he fell for a duck in his first innings against Kerala. He bounced back in the same match with a half-century as Maharashtra secured the innings lead. Shaw’s hundred vs Chandigarh had broken a century drought of 20 months, after having recorded a century for Mumbai in February 2024. Shaw is looking to reignite his career in top-level cricket after a torrid season last year in which he was dropped by Mumbai due to issues with his fitness and discipline.
