Aakash Chopra criticises Prithvi Shaw

Shaw didn’t cross single-digit mark in the last four matches.

Hyderabad: Former Indian cricketer and noted commentator Aakash Chopra criticised Delhi Capitals’ opener Prithvi Shaw for not showing any intent. He has been struggling with the form in the last few matches after a couple of fifties in the initial stage of the tournament. Shaw didn’t cross single-digit mark in the last four matches.

“There is a problem with Prithvi Shaw that he is not changing his style of play even after having not scored runs. Sunil Gavaskar was angry during commentary and I was also a little upset, that if you not scored runs in the previous matches, then play a little bit along the ground as your partner was anyway hitting,” he said.

He also lauded Shikhar Dhawan who created history by scoring back-to-back centuries in IPL. “Because he is not batting slowly, he is going at a super-fast speed. He has struck two consecutive tons, which no other player has done to date in the IPL. He has been absolutely outstanding, 207 not out and counting. Because a century in the last match and a century in this match, unbeaten in the last match and unbeaten here as well.” he said.
