Prithvi Shaw’s story has entered a new chapter one built on patience, hunger, and quiet determination. After missing out on the IPL 2025 auction, many thought his career was over. But Shaw seems ready to prove everyone wrong.
Shaw’s Comeback in Domestic Cricket
The Mumbai opener has rediscovered his rhythm where it matters most in domestic cricket. His gritty 75-run knock against Kerala in the Ranji Trophy opener has pushed him right back into the spotlight.
Battling Through a Tough Pitch
Playing on a challenging Thiruvananthapuram pitch, Shaw stood firm when his team needed him. He scored 75 off 102 balls, showing rare calmness and maturity, and helped Maharashtra secure a vital 20-run first-innings lead.
Focus and Responsibility Over Flash
This innings wasn’t about flashy strokeplay. It was about intent, control, and taking responsibility qualities people once said he lacked. Shaw’s approach showed that he’s learning from his past and maturing as a cricketer.
Rebuilding Away from the Limelight
After years of ups and downs, Shaw is rewriting his own story. The once-celebrated prodigy who thrived on fearless batting is now focused on consistency and growth away from the glitz of the IPL spotlight.
Eyes on IPL 2026
The big question now is whether Shaw can complete his comeback before the IPL 2026 auction. If he keeps delivering consistent performances in the domestic circuit, franchises looking for a solid top-order Indian batter may not ignore him for long.
A New Beginning for Shaw
For now, one thing is clear Prithvi Shaw’s journey isn’t over. His redemption story has just begun, and if he keeps batting with this focus and hunger, the IPL stage could soon be his again.
