Team India discard Prithvi Shaw takes a dig at critics

Swashbuckling batsman Prithvi Shaw has now slipped down the pecking order in the Indian team after having a bright start to his career. 

The flamboyant batsman recently said that he is banking on his natural aggressive game to score runs and earn his place back in the national side.

Taking a dig at his critics, Shaw said, “Personally, I feel I don’t have to change my game, but a little smarter than what I am. I can’t bat like Pujara sir bats or Pujara sir can’t bat like me.”

“So, what I am trying to do are those things that have brought me here till, for example, the aggressive batting, I don’t like to change that,” Shaw added.

The 23-year-old aggressive batsman further stated that he is looking to play as many matches possible at this stage of his career and every run is important for him to make a comeback to the Indian team.

“I think whichever game for me right now is as important as anything. Even if I am playing Duleep Trophy or my Mumbai game, I feel it’s very important for me to bring out my best,” said Shaw.

Notably, Shaw last appeared for India in a T20I match against Sri Lanka in Colombo in July 2021.
