When Prithvi Shaw was a teenager, he made his Ranji Trophy debut for Mumbai and scored a century. In 2018, he also guided India to the U-19 World Cup championship. In his Test debut against the West Indies, the right-handed batter also amassed a tonne of runs.
Some experts and fans predicted that he would become the next Sachin Tendulkar, indicating that he was destined for greatness. The little cricket player’s life has taken a wild turn in recent years, though, since he hasn’t played for India since 2021 and didn’t sell at the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) 2025 super auction.
For a very long time, Prithvi Shaw has been friends with Sachin Tendulkar’s son, Arjun Tendulkar.
The Master Blaster has seen firsthand the upheavals in Prithvi Shaw career. The 25-year-old claimed in a recent interview that Sachin still has faith in him and has encouraged him to return to his previous course.
“My voyage is known to Sachin Sir. Since we were eight or nine years old, Arjun and I have been buddies. We’ve grown up and played together. Sir was occasionally present as well. A little while ago, I also spoke with him. Almost two months ago. He was at the MIG practicing. I was also present. I also talked to him at that time. Shaw told News24, “You need that mentor, who can light a spark into you, when things go awry and you drift away.”
He still has faith in me. “I still believe in you, Prithvi Shaw, and I will continue to do so,” he stated. since he has witnessed my maturation. He still says to me, “Sahi track pe aa ja, jaise pehle tha” (Return to the same path as before). In the next thirteen to fourteen years, everything is possible. “It means a lot that he believes in me,” he continued.
Shaw has requested a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) in order to look into playing chances elsewhere. Shaw may be joining Maharashtra before the forthcoming domestic season, according to a number of publications.
