How Prithvi Shaw ended up getting benched by Delhi Capitals

Shaw, who had been in red-hot form before IPL 2023, got cleaned up by LSG’s Mark Wood for 12 in DC’s first game

Things went from bad to worse for Shaw thereafter as he would be dismissed for a duck twice in the next four outings

And when he was dismissed for an 11-ball 13 against KKR, the DC team management had had enough, and decided to drop him for the next game

Shaw’s technique too came under fire. “Once again that back foot has done him in, it doesn’t move at all,” said batting icon Sunil Gavaskar

Ricky Ponting: “I think the six games that he (Shaw) played was just over 40-odd runs, so that’s not what we require right now”
