‘Bechara gazab downfall hua hai iska’ – Fans react as Prithvi Shaw set to be ruled out of cricket action for 3-4 months due to injury

Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw is facing a challenging period in his career as he has been constantly failing to make a place for himself in India’s squad. His inconsistent performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and his fitness has been a major problem for him in his career.

However, after his poor run in IPL 2023, Shaw moved to County Cricket in England. He was performing brilliantly there but unfortunately, he injured himself and is set to be sidelined from the cricket action for about 4 months. Shaw, known for his explosive batting and youthful exuberance, sustained the injury while playing for Northamptonshire where he hurt his knee, leaving fans and teammates concerned.

The young batter had been in fine form, impressing with his performances in domestic cricket. However, this setback will require him to focus on rehabilitation and recovery, putting his cricketing journey temporarily on hold. Fans worldwide are wishing him a speedy recovery and eagerly awaiting his triumphant return to the crease.

I still have more to achieve with Northamptonshire: Prithvi Shaw

The Indian Cricket Board issued a statement on his injury and said that he has severe swelling on his knee which will take him around 4 months to recover fully. Meanwhile, Shaw talked about how multiple teams in County Cricket approached him to play but the batter believes that he still has more to achieve with Northamptonshire.

“An MRI was done after he got injured and it revealed a Grade-II tear of the posterior cruciate ligament. He was sent to the NCA where we found that there is still swelling in his knee. We have decided to consult Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala in this case. It will take at least four months for him to play competitive cricket again,” an Indian Cricket Board official was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.

“I had a few teams contacting me after the tournament wanting to talk about playing for them next year, but I feel like I still have more to achieve with Northamptonshire. They gave me the opportunity this year and I’m very happy to be coming back,” Shaw was quoted as saying by Cricket Addictor.
