This is an embarrassment… Former coaching staff of Delhi Capitals exposed Prithvi Shaw, told why he remained unsold – Mohammad Kaif told real reason why Prithvi Shaw remained unsold in IPL mega auction
In the mega auction for IPL 2025, Prithvi Shaw had listed himself at a base price of Rs 75 lakh. It was expected that some team would definitely buy Prithvi in the opening batsman’s slot, but the situation was such that no team showed interest in Prithvi. Mohammad Kaif, who was a member of the broadcast team for the auction, was also very disappointed about this.
Mohammad Kaif has been a member of Delhi’s coaching staff.
Mohammad Kaif, who is included as an expert in the broadcast team on Jio Cinema, was once associated with the Delhi Capitals team. Kaif was a member of the coaching staff in the team. Kaif shared some things about Prithvi which were quite surprising. Kaif said, ‘At one time the team management had become very strict regarding Prithvi. There was even a consensus on dropping him from the team, but just before the match, coach Ricky Ponting felt that if Prithvi performed well in today’s match, we would win. By doing this, Prithvi got many consecutive opportunities, but he could not improve his game.
He said, ‘It is not that Prithvi did not have the ability to play well, he also hit 6 fours in 6 balls. However, with time he did not pay attention to his fitness. Apart from this, there were many other things which affected his game and the result is still in front of everyone. This is a matter of embarrassment for Prithvi Shaw.
