IPL 2022: DC coach Ricky Ponting ANGRY with RECKLESS Prithvi Shaw, says ‘will have chat with him, he is getting out same way”
What is making Ricky Ponting getting upset with Prithvi Shaw? While there can be no argument on Shaw’s talent, consistency has been a major issue with him.
It was highlighted once again on Saturday, when the Capitals faced the Titans.
The 22-year-old scored 10 runs off the first six deliveries he faced. Shaw was out on very first delivery he faced of Lockie Ferguson. And Yes – Playing the same PULL-SHOT.
The New Zealand pacer banged the ball short and Shaw fell pray to the set-up, as he miscued his pull and ended up getting caught by Vijay Shankar.
Speaking on Shaw’s dismissal after the match, former Australian batter Ponting said
“He played beautifully in the first game. He didn’t go on and capitalise as he would have liked.
Today, Ferguson comes into the attack, and gets Shaw out exactly the way they would have talked about. We will have a chat with him – he’s been out twice playing the pull shot – so we have to do a bit of a work to do with him in the next few days.”
Notably, Shaw scored 38 runs in DC’s opening encounter against Mumbai Indians.
The lad from Mumbai recently failed a yo-yo test at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
If he continues to be inconsistent in the IPL, his hopes of getting back in the national side might not come to fruition.
Shaw will look for an improved show in Delhi’s next outing, which is against Lucknow Super Giants on April 7. Till then he will have Ponting’s eyes continuously fixed on him.
