During the past several weeks, Prithvi Shaw, the top opener for Team India, has continued to make news. Shaw was eventually chosen in India’s team for the T20I series against New Zealand in January of this year after being repeatedly passed over for national selection. Shaw didn’t play in the series, but things seemed to be looking up for his international career.
But an incident on February 15 thrust him back into the spotlight. After a dispute with a social media influencer named Sapna Gill, Shaw was allegedly attacked for refusing a selfie. Sapna Gill also requested the registration of a FIR against Shaw and others in a Mumbai police station for allegedly insulting her modesty.
In the midst of the issues, Shaw has since shared a mysterious Instagram story in which he appears to poke fun at people who use him for their own gain. Shaw posted a cryptic Instagram story which had a deep meaning. It read that, “Some people will only ‘love you’ as much as they can use you. Their loyalty ends where the benefits stop.”
In a T20I match against Sri Lanka in July 2021, Shaw made his final India appearance. Since then, he has consistently produced for Mumbai where he also led them to the Ranji Trophy final the previous year. Shaw is a member of the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League.
The boisterous young opener, who scored 283 runs in 10 matches throughout the season while playing at an exceptional strike rate of 147.45, was one of the players retained by the Capitals before the 2022 season.
Recently, Chetan Sakariya and Manish Pandey, among other domestic players, participated in a three-day camp in Kolkata with Shaw. Sourav Ganguly, a magnificent former captain of India, kept an eye on it. Shaw will now make a comeback in the Indian T20 League with Delhi at the start of April.

Very true.. And it was also clear that the only reason Prithvi was selected was coz of the furore on social media… no one wanted to play him, just like Sanju Samson
