Prithvi Shaw’s stocks are on the decline in the last few years. He was left out of Mumbai’s squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy and the Ranji Trophy in the 2024-25 season

While Shaw was part of Mumbai's Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy-winning campaign, he failed to produce any noteworthy performance. The opening batter managed to amass only 197 runs in 9 matches with the best score of 49.

Adding to his woes, the 25-year-old went unsold in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction last November.

Meanwhile, Arjun Tendulkar, Shaw’s childhood friend and the son of cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, was part of the Mumbai Indians (MI) squad during the recently held IPL but he didn’t get a chance to showcase his skills.

Arjun has shifted base to Goa in the domestic circuit and featured for the side in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season.

In a recent interview with News24, Prithvi Shaw expressed a bold Team India dream, for both himself and Arjun.

Shaw was asked whether he visualises Arjun and himself playing for India, with you playing as an opener and Arjun being an opening bowler. “Absolutely. Why not?” he replied.

Commenting on Arjun's IPL tenure, Shaw said it would be better if he had played more games. "Only when you play, you'd realise how talented and skilled one is," he stated.

Prithvi Shaw also shared that one of his goals is to lift the World Cup for India. It is worth mentioning here that Shaw announced his arrival to international cricket with a century on Test debut. However, he failed to build on it and also went downhill fitness-wise.

As a result, the Mumbaikar fell behind in the packing order. The last time he played for the country was in July 2021, but insists that he will now train and prepare with a comeback in mind.

“One of my goal is to win the World Cup for India. Both the World Cups, ODI and T20. The next World Cups will be in my mind, and I will prepare for them,” Shaw remarked.
