'Hope You Are Watching SAI BABA', Twitter Explodes As Prithvi Shaw Dropped By DC

Prithvi Shaw (Source: AP Newsroom)

The right-handed opening batter for Delhi Capital (DC) Prithvi Shaw is having a forgetful season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with 47 runs in six innings. This has now resulted in his dropping from the side for the clash against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) for which his skipper David Warner said that he will be back stronger.

The right-hander was replaced by Phil Salt at the top of the order who recorded a 'Golden Duck' as he departed in the very first over. Delhi's struggles continued in the coming overs as they were five down for 62 in eight overs.

Looking at the decision taken by DC management, Twitterati flooded with memes and reactions. Therefore, let's have a sneak-peek into what's going on:

Do you think dropping Prithvi Shaw is the right decision made by Delhi Capitals' management? In 6 matches this season, Shaw has scored only 47 runs. Too bad for an opener. #SRHvsDC #IPL2023

Right call to drop Prithvi Shaw. Marsh has been given an extension because of his bowling. If he doesn't score today, he should be replaced by Powell/Rossouw

And, Delhi Capitals have finally decided to move on from Prithvi Shaw. This is a big fall. He has effectively kissed his chances of playing for India good bye.

Curtains for Prithvi Shaw?? maybe he needs to visit Shirdi to personally meet Sai Baba and talk about the things he's not watching over for him.
