Delhi Capitals and their star batsman Prithvi Shaw have struggled thus far in the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The 23-year-old athlete, who came into the competition with high expectations, has failed to meet them.
Shaw has participated in all five of Delhi's IPL 2023 contests to date. In five matches, he has scored a total of 34 runs, with his highest tally being 15 runs. The Indian batter would like to rediscover his form in the upcoming matches as the David Warner-led side seeks its first victory of the season.
Shane Watson, an associate coach for Delhi, commented on the 23-year-old's performance after Shaw's poor showing. "Prithvi is as skilled as any batsman in India, and discussions with him have been limited to allowing him the latitude to trust his abilities. Shane Watson was quoted by the ICC as saying, "The most important thing for him is to continue utilizing his skills without fear of making a mistake or being dismissed."
Players like Prithvi do not sprout spontaneously: Watson
Watson continued in the same vein, praising Shaw's innate ability. Moreover, he opined that Shaw is capable of taking on the greatest bowlers in the world if he receives the proper coaching.
"Players like Prithvi don't just sprout from the ground. Watson stated, "It's not often that someone with his talent comes along, so we want to help him as much as we can so that he can display his incredible batting abilities."
"This is the most significant encouragement we are giving him as a coaching staff, as we are all aware of his talent. "When he is at his batting peak, he can defeat the best bowlers in any condition," he concluded.
