Prithvi Shaw to Enter IPL 2025 Mega Auctions for the First time since 2018

IPL 2025 mega auctions are all set to take place in Jeddah on November 24 and 25. There are some big players who are part of the upcoming mega auction and we are expecting to witness a bidding war among the franchises for these players.

Prithvi Shaw is one name that has slowly vanished from Indian cricket but has always been in the spotlight in every season of the Indian Premier League. Delhi Capitals has not retained the young talent and after 6 years, Shaw will be part of the mega auction expecting to get a contract from any of the franchises.

At one point in his career, Prithvi Shaw was seen as the next big thing in Indian cricket. However, the stars had different things in mind and unfortunately, the 25-year-old batsman witnessed a sudden decline in his career.

Things have taken an unexpected turn for Prithvi over the years. From being India’s top T20 batsman to a released player from the franchise for which he made his IPL debut.

Another shocking part of his appearance in the mega auction is that he has kept his base price at INR 75 Lakhs, which is not expected from a batsman of his calibre. However, a good performance in the IPL might raise his hopes for the upcoming season of international cricket.

Prithvi Shaw was not part of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in 2023-24 due to his injury. However, he was the 2nd highest scorer in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023-24.

Three Teams Who Can Buy Prithvi Shaw in IPL 2024

1) Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings has released most of their squad and they have kept Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh as their retained players. Their opening batsman and former skipper Shikhar Dhawan has retired from all forms of cricket and the team is in need of a talented opener. Signing Prithvi Shaw will be a good deal for the franchise because of his age factor. It will be a fresh start for the player as well and things can eventually turn out positive for both parties.

Punjab Kings Retained Players

2) Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians are known to sign young talents from Indian domestic cricket and nurture them for the future of Indian cricket. The prime examples of the same are Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan, and Hardik Pandya. They have recently decided to release Prithvi’s counterpart Ishan Kishan because of his average performance in IPL and in international cricket. The management of Mumbai Indians can give a chance to another young player and can help him to revive his international career. There is a possibility that Mumbai Indians might bid for Prithvi Shaw in the upcoming auction.

3) Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans have been through a nightmare in the previous edition of the league. They lost their skipper and under the new captain things didnt went their way. The Titans have retained some of their best performers but they still need a reliable opening batsman with skipper Shubman Gill. A bid on Prithvi Shaw can benefit them in the long term.
