'Tell him to get off...': Kevin Pietersen's Million Dollar Advice To Struggling Prithvi Shaw

After going unsold in the IPL 2025 Auction, Prithvi Shaw has received immense attention from around the cricket world. Many notable names from the sport have come out to express their concern about the youngster. Entering the bracket with a valuable insight is former England captain Kevin Pietersen.

Kevin Pietersen's Advice To Prithvi Shaw

Prithvi Shaw should channelise his energies into getting super-fit and, before that, must get off social media if he wants to once again savour the sweet taste of success, former England batter Kevin Pietersen said while vouching for his talent. Shaw, who had started with a Test hundred on debut as a teenager, is standing at the crossroads of his career at 25 after none of the IPL franchises were interested in bidding for him even for a lowly base price of Rs 75 lakh.

Many, including former India ODI specialist Mohammed Kaif, feel that his off-field persona has definitely affected his on-field game as he flattered to deceive on numerous occasions.

"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!," Pietersen wrote on 'X'.
