Former Australian captain and former head coach of Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, Ricky Ponting, has recently given his opinion about the cricketing career of Indian player Prithvi Shaw. Let us tell you, Prithvi Shaw had a very good start in international cricket but as his career progressed, his form declined.

Prithvi Shaw has participated in the Indian Premier League for Delhi Capitals and has played for this franchise for 3 years under the coaching of Ricky Ponting. Ricky Ponting believes that Prithvi Shaw got the opportunity but he could not capitalize on it properly. According to him, a player like Prithvi Shaw can join any team in world cricket but due to his recent performance, the best players are not getting a chance.

Ricky Ponting told Cricbuzz, ‘I would like to start with the fact that I do not want to talk about any one player but Prithvi Shaw should not be left out. He is really an amazing player. Shaw can join any team. With the talent he has, he can be included in any team. You can also say that in the middle of the year we were not able to include him in our Delhi Capitals team.

As a coach, I also felt very bad that we had such great players but we were not able to bring out the best in them. But sometimes in the process of doing too much, you end up giving disappointing performances.

Prithvi Shaw’s performance was very poor in the Indian Premier League 2023 and 2024 seasons

Let us tell you, while playing for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, Prithvi Shaw scored 353 runs in the 2019 season, while in the 2021 season, this excellent player scored 479 runs. However, combining the 2023 and 2024 seasons, he scored only 304 runs in 16 matches.

Prithvi Shaw played his last international match for India in 2021. Ricky Ponting also wants this young player to perform well and once again secure his place in the Indian team. He also has a lot of expectations from the young player.
