The rise and fall of India batter Prithvi Shaw has been well-documented for the past several years. Once branded as the next Sachin Tendulkar, Shaw showed glimpses of class in the early stages of his career. From leading India U-19 to a World Cup title to being unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction, there have been many ups and downs in Shaw’s career.
Recently, Shaw took part in an interview where he talked about several aspects of his life. In the same conversation, the batter also reflected on the trolling that he has faced in recent times. The Mumbai-based batter talked about having a different mindset about rolling that if a person trolls, that means that they are following the batter’s life. He also revealed sometimes felt uneasy on some people trolled him in a rather unwanted way.
“If he is not following me, then how will he troll? That means he has eyes on me, nice. “I feel like trolling is not a good thing, but it is not such a bad thing either, if people make memes on me, I see them as well. I sometimes get hurt,” Shaw said in a video on the ‘Focused Indian’ YouTube channel.
I was wondering what wrong have I done: Shaw
It is worth noting that recently, Prithvi Shaw’s video went viral where he was captured dancing. However, the batter revealed that he could not understand the brutal trolling that he faced over a video where he was dancing on his birthday. For the uninitiated, Shaw has represented Delhi Capitals since 2018. After the side did not retain him ahead of the 2025 mega auction, he was unsold in the auction and won't feature in the IPL after a long stint.
