Not to Prithvi Shaw, he wasn’t. The cheeky young fella thought little of cake-smashing the former India captain, who just gave up and surrendered, losing himself in the sea of his young charges who took expressing their affection for him to new heights.

While Shaw's immense talent remains undeniable, his inability to navigate the pressures of fame appears to have significantly impacted his once-promising career.

Reacting to his auction snub, former Delhi Capitals coach Pravin Amre said Prithvi Shaw perhaps could not handle fame and money that he received from the IPL.

Former Delhi Capitals coach Pravin Amre talked about Prithvi Shaw's downfall and explained how the youngster lost track and focus due to money and glamour.

Twice Prithvi Shaw's name came up at the auction and despite a base price of Rs 75 lakh, not one paddle went up for him.

Prithvi Shaw has come under fire from Pravin Amre for losing focus after attaining wealth early in his career. Despite his potential, Shaw's recent IPL auction failure and past disciplinary issues serve as warnings for young cricketers.

Prithvi Shaw entered the IPL 2025 mega auction with a base price of Rs 75 lakh, but he failed to find any buyers during the two-day event in Jeddah.
