People are talking about how Prithvi Shaw looks completely out of depth every time he comes out to bat now. People say that the tour management made a blunder by selecting him when his confidence is so low. They say that Shubman Gill must have been given preference.
People point out that the technical defect that have cropped up in his batting are so clearly visible that Ricky Ponting predicted how Shaw will get out in the first innings just before he got out. Ponting later commented that Shaw is moving very late and is not shifting his weight properly. As of now, he is a sitting duck for the Auatralian pacemen.
People say that when someone is low on confidence, he should be given time to rebuild it by knocking it off at the nets. Instead, they say, Shaw has been pitch forked into the thick of things. This, they say, will take him down further. People are of the opinion that he will be devastated by repeated failures.
People say that Shaw is so low on confidence that he even blunders in fielding. This is a sign of fear of failure. People are of the opinion that the team management must keep Shaw out of the team and try to give him time to regain his composure. There is no doubt about his exceptional talent, they say, but his confidence needs a huge boost.
People say that while the team management might be thinking that just one big innings will bring it back, they have not reckoned with the opposition. The Aussie bowlers have got his number and they will target him every time. Such early dismissals will clearly crush his confidence further.
