Prithvi Shaw produced 479 runs with a strike rate close to 160 and an average of more than 31 in the 2021 edition. But Shaw’s mechanical shortcomings quickly became apparent, particularly when it came to opposing pitches, and in the 2023 IPL, he was only able to muster 106 runs across 8 innings.
Halfway through the tournament, he was also removed from the team. This suggested that the team no longer had faith in Shaw’s ability to produce results. One of the main explanations for his release before the auctions may be his high price.
