**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Once a rising star of Indian cricket, Prithvi Shaw is facing a career crisis. After going unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction and being dropped from Mumbai’s Vijay Hazare Trophy squad, Shaw posted a cryptic message on Instagram, questioning his prospects for a comeback. This led to a public spat with a Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) official, who blamed Shaw for his own downfall.
The situation has sparked outrage from former Indian selector Jatin Paranjape, who criticized the MCA’s handling of the situation in a tweet, stating that their “loose comments” suggest a lack of support for Shaw and predicting this will be his last season playing for Mumbai.
Shaw, despite a prolific domestic record and impressive early international career, including a century on his Test debut, has struggled recently. Increased competition within the Indian team and past injuries have contributed to his current predicament. While his talent remains undeniable, his future with Mumbai and the national team hangs precariously in the balance.
