Rohit Sharma’s childhood coach Dinesh Lad believes that Prithvi Shaw chose the wrong direction in his career, which affected and spoiled his cricket life. Prithvi Shaw made his debut in the 2016-17 Ranji Trophy at the age of just 17 and caught everyone’s attention by scoring a century.

He then led India’s Under-19 team to win the World Cup in 2018 and soon became a part of the senior team. Thane-born Prithvi made his Test debut in 2018 and also scored a century in his first match, but due to poor form, he was soon dropped from the team and has not played international cricket since 2021.
Recently his sports career has been going through a difficult phase. Due to poor form and disciplinary issues, he was dropped from the team in the middle of the Ranji Trophy last season and had to leave Mumbai before the new domestic season. He played a few matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, but was not selected in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Dinesh Lad told Prithvi Shaw’s journey
Dinesh Lad recalled how Shaw impressed the cricket world with his amazing batting, but he also expressed grief that the player went astray.
In Gaurav Mangalani‘s podcast, Lad said, “I have seen Prithvi since he was 10 years old. He was a very promising player, but every player’s journey is different. I don’t know what happened to him, just today I am very sorry that he chose the wrong path and lost his career.”
Referring to current players like Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Ayush Mhatre, Lad said that the future of Indian cricket is secure and praised these young players. Shaw will now try to get his career back on track by playing for the Maharashtra team. For this, he had sought a no-objection certificate from the Mumbai Cricket Association in June, which was approved.
