**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Shreyas Iyer, the recently acquired Punjab Kings player, has offered advice to struggling young cricketer Prithvi Shaw, who was overlooked in the recent IPL mega auction and is finding it difficult to secure a place in domestic cricket. Iyer, known for his own comeback after a period of inconsistency, stressed the importance of discipline and a dedicated work ethic.

In an interview, Iyer, who played alongside Shaw earlier in their careers, acknowledged Shaw’s natural talent (“a god-gifted player,” he said). However, he emphasized the need for improved work ethic and a more consistent approach to the game. Iyer stated that Shaw needs to continually improve his techniques and, critically, his on and off-field behavior. While acknowledging that many people offer advice, Iyer stressed that ultimately it is up to Shaw to take responsibility and apply what he has learned from his experience.

Iyer’s comments come amidst Shaw’s struggles to regain his place in the cricketing world. Despite his obvious talent, the lack of opportunities serves as a stark reminder of the demands of professional cricket. Iyer’s message underscores the need for even the most gifted players to maintain discipline and a commitment to continuous improvement to succeed at the highest level.
