From a promising debut to playing in local leagues like the Shirdi Premier League 2025</figcaption></figure><br><p><span id="input-sentence~0">The meteoric ascent of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prithvi_Shaw">Prithvi Shaw </a>to the top of Indian cricket. Hyped to be the next Sachin Tendulkar, Shaw had the cricket world in his palm. His career, however, took a sharp and precipitous fall, with the whiz kid now playing for local events such as the Shirdi Premier League 2025.</span><span id="input-sentence~1"> Let us find out what happened.</span></p><h3><span id="input-sentence~1"><strong>A Bright Beginning</strong></span></h3><p><span id="input-sentence~1">Prithvi Shaw's career as a cricketer started grandly, and he earned milestones that other cricketers can merely imagine:</span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~1"><strong>Record-Breaking School Cricket: </strong>Shaw initially made the headlines when he scored a record 546 during a Harris Shield match in the year 2013.</span><span id="input-sentence~2"> His performance was equated to that of Tendulkar's early supremacy, and his craze became much stronger.</span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~2"><strong>U-19 World Cup Hero:</strong> Shaw guided India to the win of the U-19 Cricket World Cup in 2018 and was among the tournament's top scorers.</span><span id="input-sentence~3"> He was the future of Indian cricket, at least how he played.</span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~3"><strong>Dream Test Debut:</strong> Shaw debuts for India in Tests in October 2018 and records a majestic 134 against West Indies, being the youngest Indian batsman to have scored a century on debut.</span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~4"><strong>IPL Success:</strong> Shaw impressed Delhi Capitals in the <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/ipl-2025/">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) with explosive scores that further entrenched his credentials.</span></p><h3><strong><span id="input-sentence~4">The Downfall</span></strong></h3><p><span id="input-sentence~4">Although he began on a high note, Shaw's fortunes took a turn for the worse due to a combination of factors:</span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~4"><strong>Injury and Fitness Issues:</strong> Shaw was plagued by injuries during his career, such as a knee injury that kept him out of action for extended periods.</span><span id="input-sentence~5"> His fitness levels were questionable, and this kept him out of the national selection pool.</span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~5"><strong>Unpredictable Form:</strong> Even though Shaw gave hints of his capabilities, his unreliability was always a nagging problem. He could not deliver a solid performance in Indian and IPL cricket.</span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~6"><strong>Increased Competition:</strong> With the entry of youngsters Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and many others, Shaw's Indian team position was put in doubt.</span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~6"><strong>Off-Field Controversies:</strong> Shaw's off-field conduct, such as a public brawl in a nightclub, contributed to the distractions and bad media attention surrounding him, influencing his cricketing concentration too.</span></p><p>ALSO SEE: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/cricket-australia-2025-26-central-contracts-full-list-and-new-additions/">Cricket Australia 2025-26 Central Contracts: Full List and New Additions</a></p><h3><strong><span id="input-sentence~7">From International Superstardom to Domestic Leagues</span></strong></h3><p><span id="input-sentence~7">Once part of India's plans, Shaw now plays in domestic leagues such as the Shirdi Premier League 2025. It's a big drop from representing India or even the IPL, and the harsh reality of this has already seen fans wondering what went wrong.</span></p><h3><span id="input-sentence~8"><strong>Can Shaw Make a Comeback?</strong></span></h3><p><span id="input-sentence~8">At 25, Shaw has enough time on his hands to get back. Though his career has been tainted by issues, there are enough examples in cricketing history of cricketers having done well in life despite going through troubled times.</span><span id="input-sentence~9"> As long as Shaw is fit, regains consistency, and improves his discipline, he can still stage a comeback.</span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~9">Prithvi Shaw's tale is a testament to the whimsical nature and turbulence of cricket. One's ability does not go far enough one requires resilience, stability, and diligence in the same proportion. It is yet to be known whether Shaw is able to make a comeback or not, but undoubtedly, the young cricketer can make a comeback if he follows the right path.</span></p>]]></content:encoded>
