Watch: Prithvi Shaw's Northamptonshire Debut Ends In Bizarre Hit-Wicket Dismissal

Indian cricket team batter Prithvi Shaw made his debut for English county side Northamptonshire in the England Domestic One-Day Cup 2023 but his innings ended in a hit-wicket dismissal. Shaw opened the batting against Gloucestershire but his innings came to an end in the 16th over. The right-hander was batting on 34 when he failed to handle a bouncer from Paul van Meekeren and ended up falling on the stumps. It was an unfortunate end to an innings where the youngster looked in good touch as he slammed two boundaries and one six during his stay at the crease.

Prithvi Shaw has got down to business in his maiden County stint in style for Northamptonshire. In an intra-squad match, the talented opener scored 65 Off 39 Balls, the video of which was shared by the county side. The Delhi Capitals batter had a woeful IPL 2023 campaign and was dropped midway through the competition. He has also been out of the Indian cricket team for quite some time now. Shaw will make his debut for the county side on Friday against Gloucestershire in Cheltenham in the One-Day Cup. Shaw's arrival was delayed because of visa formalities as he could not play two four-day County Championship fixtures.

"If I Go Out, People Will Harass Me": Prithvi Shaw

There's no doubt that Prithvi Shaw is one of the most talented batters India ever had. The 23-year-old player made his international debut in 2018 and played some great knocks for India. However, the last couple of years have seen a huge dip in his form, which resulted in him getting dropped. Shaw, who had a forgetful outing in IPL 2023, has been excluded from all three formats of the game. Apart from his cricketing career, the opening batter is also having a tough time in his personal life.

Prithvi Shaw Echoes R Ashwin's "Colleagues, Not Friends" Sentiments On Indian Players

Veteran Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin dropped a bombshell on fans as he revealed that players in the national team are more of 'colleagues' than friends. As Indian cricket lovers were trying to overcome Ashwin's sentiments, young opening batter Prithvi Shaw echoed the all-rounder's sentiments, suggesting the players hardly open up to each other. Shaw, who has been out of favour across formats when it comes to national team selection, revealed that while players do talk to everyone, they hardly open up to each other about what happens in their life.

Regarded as one of the most talented batters of his generation, Prithvi Shaw has seen his stocks incur a dramatic fall over the last couple of years. From being regarded as the 'next big thing' in Indian cricket, Shaw has gone on to become a fringe player who is not a certainty in either of the three formats. Having signed for Northamptonshire in the County Championship, the U19 World Cup-winning star is hopeful of the stint helping him turn things around in his career. But, as far as the current situation with his international career is concerned, Shaw is scared to even share his thoughts.

Australia great Ricky Ponting has identified a group of young India batters that can match the exploits of opener Yashavi Jaiswal and prosper at Test level if given the chance during the new ICC World Test Championship cycle. Jaiswal was one of two players given Test debuts for India in the present Test against the West Indies in Dominica, and the 21-year-old quickly proved he was up to the task, becoming only the 17th Indian player to make a century on Test debut.

"Can't Bat Like Cheteshwar Pujara, He Can't...": Prithvi Shaw Takes Shot At Critics

After a bright start to his career, Prithvi Shaw has now slipped down the pecking order in the Indian team but the Mumbai youngster on Saturday said he is banking on his natural "aggressive" game to score runs and earn his place back in the national side. Shaw last appeared for India in a T20I match against Sri Lanka at Colombo in July 2021. "Personally, I feel I don't have to change my game, but a little smarter than what I am. I can't bat like Pujara sir bats or Pujara sir can't bat like me.

Duleep Trophy: West Zone Start Favourites In Semi Final As Big Guns Eye Turnaround

Redemption will be the central theme when a clutch of cricketers from the West Zone, including Cheteshwar Pujara and Prithvi Shaw, enter the field for the Duleep Trophy semifinals against Central Zone, starting from Wednesday. For the crucial clash, the West Zone bring in Pujara, Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav and Sarfaraz Khan and all four batters need a career reboot. Pujara, a veteran of 103 Tests and over 7000 runs, has scripted tales of valour over the years. But now he finds himself out of reckoning for India. He was dropped from India's squad for the tour of West Indies after a modest outing during the World Test Championship final against Australia last month. He will be eager to make a statement of intent during the Duleep Trophy.
