Prithvi Shaw faced disappointment during the Delhi Capitals’ home game against Mumbai Indians when he found himself getting benched. He had only mustered 19 runs in the last two games. Consequently, the DC management made the tough decision to drop Shaw and give Kumar Kushagra an opportunity in the lineup.

Although Prithvi Shaw has had a reasonably good season overall, scoring 185 runs in seven innings with a high score of 66, the management may have deemed this performance below par, particularly given the batting-friendly conditions seen in IPL 2024.

Prithvi Shaw appeared visibly unimpressed with Delhi Capitals’ decision ahead of the match and was seen arguing with Head Coach Ricky Ponting. While the specifics of their conversation are unknown, commentators speculated that it was likely related to the same context.

Hindi commentator Akash Chopra expressed surprise at their on-field disagreement, suggesting that Ponting should have communicated the decision to Shaw much earlier so that he could mentally prepare, rather than informing him just before the toss.

Prithvi Shaw began the IPL 2024 season on the bench, but due to the Delhi Capitals’ poor start to the season, he was brought into the XI. Shaw made a strong opening, smashing 43 runs in his first game of the season against Chennai Super Kings. Delhi Capitals have demonstrated long-term faith in the Mumbai-born batter, as he has been part of the franchise since the IPL 2018 season.

Delhi Capitals have made a great move by assigning the opening slot to Jake Fraser-McGurk. However, Fraser has not yet found a permanent opening partner. In the last match, Prithvi Shaw batted alongside him, while in today’s match against Mumbai Indians, Abhishek Porel came in as an opener.
