Former U19 World Cup winners for India in 2018, Shubman Gill and Prithvi Shaw have seen two contrasting journies since winning the title as teenagers. While Gill has become a regular face in the Indian team across all three formats, Shaw is struggling to even be consistent in the national squad across formats. Commenting on Shaw’s attitude, Gill’s childhood coach Karsan Ghavri claimed that the Delhi Capitals opener thinks he is already a star and no one can touch him.

“They were in the same team that won the U-19 World Cup in 2018, right? Today where is Prithvi Shaw and where is Shubman Gill? They are in two different categories,” Karsan Ghavri was quoted as saying by The Indian Express. “Shaw thinks he is a star and nobody can touch him. But he needs to understand that at the international level, irrespective of whether you are playing T20, 50 over or the Test match or even the Ranji Trophy, it takes only one delivery to get you out.”

Garvi, who coached Shubman Gill as an 11-year-old, said that to excel at the highest level, one requires discipline and temperament and Prithvi Shaw has struggled to show both of them. Moreover, he was dropped from the IPL playing XI too. Suggesting everything is not lost yet, Ghavri wants Shaw to work on his flaws and come back stronger in the future.

“You require discipline and a good temperament. You need to constantly work on yourself. You are required to occupy the crease, and if you do that, you are bound to get more runs. They are of the same age. Nothing has been lost yet. Gill has worked on his flaws, while Shaw hasn’t. He still can. He needs to work hard; otherwise, there is no point in having so much potential,” he concluded.
