From the big stage of the 2018 U-19 Cricket World, Indian cricket had several cricket superstars. Among all, the captain Prithvi Shaw caught everyone’s eyes. With his exceptional captaincy skills and batting brilliance, he grabbed the headlines.

After lifting the U-19 Cricket World Cup trophy, Shaw entered the IPL arena and showcased his excellence in the cash-rich league. But the rhythm interrupted as the right-handed batter’s performance in the last few seasons has become a matter of concern. But now, a question is arising, is Prithvi Shaw playing IPL 2025? Let’s explore the answer.

Prithvi Shaw’s IPL Stats

Since a very young age, Prithvi Shaw has been a well-known name in Mumbai’s domestic circuit. Shaw lifted the U-19 Cricket World Cup trophy while leading the squad in 2018. In the same year, he made his IPL debut for Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals). In his first season, he represented his franchise in 9 games and scored 245 runs.

In his second season with the team witnessed the rise of the young batter as he scored 353 runs in 16 games. His highest IPL score of 99 came in this season. The 2021 was the best season of his career as Shaw scored 479 runs in 15 matches with 4 half-centuries. In his IPL career, he played 79 matches and scored 1892 runs with 14 centuries and also has a strike rate of 147.47.

Shaw Unsold in IPL 2025: What Went Wrong?

Prithvi Shaw’s career was going through a rough patch in the past few years. The batters struggled with his form and batting techniques. In the last two editions of the IPL, he played 8 matches for Delhi Capitals and scored 106 and 198 runs. He was dropped from several games in both seasons due to inconsistency. Before stepping into the IPL auction, the Delhi Capitals didn’t retain him.

He entered into the auction with a base price of 75 lakhs. In the first round of auction, he remained unsold as no franchises showed any interest in him. Even in the second round, nothing changed at all. He failed to attract a single bid. After being unsold in both rounds, he will remain out of the IPL 2025. It must be a massive setback for the youngster but things can change in the future with his hard work and passion.
