Veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has added that a downslide in Prithvi Shaw’s career is evident. He also added that the talented batter needs to work hard to change the reputation created about him. Shaw, who was part of the Delhi Capitals in the last few seasons of the
Indian Premier League, failed to get a team in the IPL 2025 auction. He was dropped from the Mumbai Ranji Trophy squad and has recently been dropped from the Vijay Hazare Trophy as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, he said, “I can tell you things have changed as he does not have an IPL contract now and his name is not there in the Mumbai team for the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He is not scoring runs wherever he is playing. He did score a few runs in England, but right now his career is on such a slippery slope that sometimes you feel for the boy about what is happening.”

“When it came out in the open that there are questions about his work ethic, that he is missing practice and the indiscipline issues were seen in the IPL, even if it is 25 percent of that, and things are being exaggerated, then also Prithvi will have to work because it takes a lifetime to build a reputation and a moment to spoil it,” Chopra further added.

“If the reputation has been spoiled, it will take time to correct it. So Prithvi Shaw is going through a bad syndrome. He will have to change this syndrome, work very hard, and convince people that he is dedicated and disciplined, and wants to be here and play. Sometimes you need mentoring. You need people who can mentor you properly when you are climbing the stairs of success, when you are earning a lot of money and glory. The wagon has obviously derailed but the thing in Prithvi Shaw’s favor is that age is with him and he has an inborn talent. It will have to be nurtured again,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
