Prithvi Shaw was recently left out of the Mumbai Ranji Trophy squad, with the team management citing issues related to his discipline and fitness as the reasons for his exclusion. It was observed that Shaw had been irregular at net practice sessions and had not been adhering to the fitness standards expected by the team. In response to being dropped, Shaw took to Instagram and posted a brief message that read “Needed a break thanks.” This comment seemed to carry a tone of sarcasm concerning the team’s decision to exclude him.
