Prithvi Shaw who was in terrific form in the ongoing Royal one-day cup has been ruled out of the remaining matches of the tournament due to a knee injury sustained while fielding during a match against Durham.
Unfortunately, new scans have suggested that the injury’s severity is worse than initially feared. As a result, he has had to withdraw from the remaining matches during his stay with the club.
Prithvi Shaw’s contributions have been genuinely extraordinary during his time on the field. He leaves the competition as the best run-scorer, having collected a staggering total of 429 runs during four innings. Notably, he set a new record with his outstanding score of 244 versus Somerset. Yet, his significance stretched beyond his particular achievement. His colleagues highly commended his unwavering commitment and desire to win, attributes that undoubtedly played a factor in the club’s success throughout his tenure.
Expressing his disappointment over the untimely departure of Shaw, Head Coach John Sadler expressed disappointment as while speaking to nccc.co.uk, he said:
“In his short stint, Prithvi has made a huge impact on us as a club. It’s a huge shame he won’t be with us for the remainder of this comp.”
The departure of Shaw has left a void in the dressing room, as his spirited presence served as a driving force for the team.
“As well as his performances on the field he had a huge impact in our dressing room, Nobody wanted to win a game more than him and he really contributed to us doing so. We wish him well and hope to see him scoring runs again soon,” Sadler further stated.
Currently under the care of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Shaw is set to consult a specialist in London this Friday. As fans hold their breath, hopes are high for his swift recovery and triumphant return to the cricketing arena.
Having showcased remarkable skills in the Royal London ODI Cup 2023, Shaw is now determined to mirror this success in the upcoming domestic cricket season in India and also during the IPL. His goal is to secure a return to the Indian national team based on his consistent and outstanding performances.
