How Prithvi Shaw ended up getting benched by Delhi Capitals
Shaw, who had been in red-hot form before IPL 2023, got cleaned up by LSG’s Mark Wood for 12 in DC’s first game
Things went from bad to worse for Shaw thereafter as he would be dismissed for a duck twice in the next four outings
And when he was dismissed for an 11-ball 13 against KKR, the DC team management had had enough, and decided to drop him for the next game
Shaw’s technique too came under fire. “Once again that back foot has done him in, it doesn’t move at all,” said batting icon Sunil Gavaskar
Ricky Ponting: “I think the six games that he (Shaw) played was just over 40-odd runs, so that’s not what we require right now”
