Former Delhi Capitals assistant coach Pravin Amre added that Prithvi Shaw should consider the snub he received from IPL franchises at the mega auction as an eye-opener as well. Claiming that the batter is undoubtedly a hugely talented cricketer, Amre also confirmed that reports of his indiscipline are credible too.

In an interview with the Times of India, former India batter and ex-DC coach Amre said, “It’s so disappointing to see that a talent like him is going in reverse direction… Even today, he can hit a 30-ball fifty in the IPL. Maybe he couldn’t handle the glamour and money, the side-effects of the IPL. His example can be a case study in Indian cricket… Talent alone can’t take you to the top. The three Ds – discipline, determination and dedication – are important,” Amre said.

“Three years back, I gave him Vinod Kambli’s example. I’ve seen Kambli’s downfall from close quarters. It’s not easy to teach certain things to this generation. Thanks to being retained by DC, Prithvi must have earned Rs 30-40 crore by the time he was 23. Will even an IIM graduate get that type of money? When you earn so much at such a young age, you tend to lose focus. I hope he takes this IPL auction snub positively. It’s an eye-opener for him. He’s still got age on his side. He’s just 25,” the former batter further added.

Having been released by Delhi Capitals, Prithvi Shaw registered for the IPL 2025 auction at a reasonably low base price of ₹75 lakh but still failed to get a team as well.
