Prithvi Shaw was yet once again neglected by India as his name was no place to be discovered in the 16- member team validated for the ODI series versus South Africa. Shaw’s omission was met fury on social networks, as the fans were not able to figure out why the existing group management is not choosing the very best young opener at their disposal.
Shaw boasts an impressive List A average of 56.04, and his strike rate of 124.19 makes him amongst the most explosive opening batter around. Provided India’s vibrant shift from its conservative method, it barely makes good sense to disregard Shaw.
List A average: 56.04, SR: 124.19 in 46 matches.
Two centuries and a 66 in last 3 FC innings and a 48- ball 77 for India A versus NZ A in September. Just baffling that Prithvi Shaw does not discover an area this time. https://t.co/4l35 RNYuBb

The 22- year-old played his last video game for Team India in 2021, versus Sri Lanka. He has actually been amongst the most constant opening entertainers in the Indian Premier League and just recently scored a 48- ball 77 versus New Zealand A.
Against Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy in 2015, Shaw scored 60 in the very first innings, and followed up with a rating of142 A week ago versus North-East Zone, he smashed113
Shaw himself revealed his frustration through a puzzling post on Instagram, where he composed, “Don’t trust their words, trust their actions since actions will show why words are useless”.

The Chetan Sharma-led choice committee chose Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shubman Gill. Among them will open the innings, along with the stand-in skipper Shikhar Dhawan. The absence of clearness from the choice committee has actually infuriated the fans, as they are desperate to understand the factors behind his constant exemption.
” If Prithvi Shaw is getting neglected cuz of physical fitness, on disciplinary premises, or any other legitimate factor then I have no problem however please care to discuss what is the factor behind his non-selection after carrying out so well in List A, we are worthy of a description,” composed another fan.
