Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw, who has remained in the news lately for not getting selected by any IPL team in the 2025 auction, recently shared a mysterious message on Instagram.

On Wednesday, the young Indian cricketer posted a cryptic message on his Instagram Story, which left fans wondering what the Mumbai batter was suggesting. He posted a simple 3-word message on his story, writing, “Need a break,” along with an emoji. In December, he was last seen playing competitive top-level cricket during Mumbai’s victorious Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaign, participating in the final as his team lifted the trophy against Madhya Pradesh.

Fans react to Prithvi Shaw’s cryptic note on Instagram Story. One fan wrote, “Comeback stronger.” Another wrote, “A player like Prithvi Shaw had so much potential. It’s sad that his career didn’t pan out the way it could have been.” Shaw missed out on IPL 2025 after being a consistent fixture of Delhi Capitals from 2018 to 2024, during which he scored 1892 IPL runs at a strong rate at the top of the order.
