The young opening whisk, Prithvi Shaw, has provoked speculations on joining the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of the IPL 2026. Just as the right battery has created an anticipation of fans, especially after the recent incorporation of CSK Ruturaj Gaikwad’s abandonment on Maharashtra team.
Prithvi Shaw has faced a defiant phase with the mishap in his Cricket career. He was out of the Ranji Trophy of Mumbai and Vijay Hazare Squads and went out to the 2025 IPL auction, asking questions about his commitment. Shaw was once as a future star, but he has been criticized for his attitude.
Prithvi Shaw was not sold at the IPL 2025 auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, after Delhi capitals released him after seven seasons with the franchise. The opening batter made his team debut with the team in 2018.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Shaw has scored 1,892 imprisoned in 79 IPL games at an average of 23.94 and a strike rate of more than 147. In general, it has 2,902 throws of 117 T20 at a strike rate of 151.54, including a century and the 1950’s.
In the IPL of 2024, he scored 198 runs in eight games for Delhi Capitals with an average of 24.75 and a strike rate of 163.63. Could not attract franchise bids during the auction.
In the meantime, five times Chennai Super Kings champions had a forgetful season at IPL 2025. They ended up at the bottom of the point table with only four wins of 14 games. The team struggled to beat for most of the season, but only showed minor improvements towards the end.
CSK opening combinations did not provide solid beginnings and Captain Rutura Gaikwad’s first injury further weakened the side. Players like Rahul Tripathi, Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway fought at the top, forcing the team to experiment with openers such as Shaik Rasheed and Ayush Mhatre.
CSK needs an aggressive opener that can bring the attack on the bowls. Shaw, with his attacking style, could be an ideal adjustment, while Gaikwad moves to number three would add stability and depth to the average order.
Prithvi Shaw liked a comment on his latest post on Instagram, who caught the attention of the fans. A user hoped that an opening collaboration between Shaw and Ayush Mhatre could strengthen CSK’s higher order. Shaw’s reaction has added fuel to the illusion that surrounds its potential.
“Hope Rutu recommends Prithvi to CSK management if it is OK to continue at 3, Mhatre – Prithvi Combo would bring again the days of McCulum’s glory – Smith 6 exceed 100 days without WKT of the hope that passes,” the comment said.
