Shane Watson, a veteran Australian all-rounder, has shown support to Prithvi Shaw and asked him to follow Kevin Pietersen’s advice about quitting social media and focusing on fitness. Prithvi Shaw, who once was dubbed the future of Indian cricket, has been going through a tough phase in his career for quite some time now. He last played for India in 2021, and since then, his career has only gone downhill.

Watson has worked with Shaw at Delhi Capitals in the past. He called Shaw a precious talent who has the potential to become one of Indian cricket’s biggest heroes if he takes the right path.

What had Kevin Pietersen tweeted about Prithvi Shaw?

Taking to X, Kevin Pietersen tweeted, “Some of the greatest sports stories are COMEBACK stories. If Prithvi Shaw has decent people around him who care about his long term success, they’d sit him down, tell him to get off social media & train his absolute backside off in getting super fit. It’ll get him back into the correct path where past success can return. Too talented to throw it all away. Love, KP!”

Recently, Prithvi Shaw was dropped from the Mumbai Ranji team for being overweight and unfit. He has returned for the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament but hasn’t been able to do anything significant thus far.
