Prithvi Shaw finds no takers at IPL 2025 auction, remains unsold | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Prithvi Shaw faced a major setback at the IPL 2025 mega auction as the opening batter went unsold, with no franchises showing interest in acquiring him.
Shaw’s struggles with form and fitness have significantly impacted his value, leading to his exclusion from the bidding process.
This development marks a significant blow to Shaw’s efforts to reignite his career, especially after being released by Delhi Capitals ahead of the auction.With this disappointment, questions loom over Shaw’s future in both the IPL and international cricket.
Following disappointing performances in the first two rounds of the 2024 Ranji Trophy, he was dropped from Mumbai’s squad for the third round.
Reports indicate that the decision was influenced not just by his poor form but also by disciplinary concerns, including missed training sessions, adding to his struggles.
Shaw’s journey has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. In 2018, he was named by the ICC as one of the top five breakout stars in men’s cricket, showcasing immense potential.
However, his career hit a stumbling block in 2019 when he received a doping ban from the BCCI, ruling him out of action until November that year.
