'What wrong have I done ...': Prithvi Shaw breaks silence

Prithvi Shaw, once hailed as the rising star of Indian cricket, has now found himself on the outskirts of the national team's plans. The talented Mumbai batsman hit a new low when he failed to attract any bids in the IPL 2025 mega auction held on Monday, despite setting his base price at 75 lakh.

A video of Shaw discussing the challenges of dealing with relentless trolling went viral following his unsuccessful auction. Originally shared on the YouTube Channel "Focused Indian" ahead of the IPL auction in Jeddah, Shaw opened up about the constant scrutiny he faces on social media. Despite acknowledging that trolls do not directly engage with him on any platform, Shaw chose to view their attention as a positive sign. However, he also admitted that the negative comments do take a toll on him at times.

“If he is not following me, then how will he troll? That means he has eyes on me, nice. “I feel like trolling is not a good thing, but it is not such a bad thing either,” Shaw said. “If people make memes on me, I see them as well. I sometimes get hurt," Shaw said in the video.
