Mumbai batter Prithvi Shaw went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction, even though his base price was Rs 75 lakh. After Delhi Capitals released him, none of the ten teams showed any interest in buying him.
After the auction, an old video of Prithvi started trending on social media. In the video, he talks about how he has faced trolling in his career and says he even watches the memes and jokes made about him.

“If a person is not following me, how will they troll me? That means he has eyes on me. So I think that trolling is not good but it is not a bad thing as well. We see cricketers and even other people getting trolled. I see all the trolling, memes that are made on me. It also hurts me sometimes,” he said.

“If I am seen anymore, people say that he is outside and not practicing. But I am thinking – It is my birthday. Can I not celebrate? I was wondering what wrong have I done. I know if I am doing anything wrong. But if something is not wrong, it should be shown in that light,” the cricketer added.
Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif said it is embarrassing for Prithvi Shaw that no team showed interest in bidding for him at Rs 75 lakh during the IPL 2025 auction.
Mohammad Kaif Statement On Prithvi Shaw
“Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances,” Kaif told on Jio Cinema.
“Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs,” he concluded.
