Big conspiracy with Prithvi Shaw?

According to the report of Cricblogger, Langer wanted to include Prithvi Shaw in his team and it was almost decided. There was a plan to take Shaw at a base price of Rs 30 lakh, but at the last moment the coach changed his mind and Prithvi Shaw remained unusual. Fans and cricket experts expressed displeasure over this decision, as they feel that Shaw could have been a great deal at such a low price.

LSG puts bets on this player instead of Prithvi Shaw

Surprisingly, Lucknow Super Giants retained Ayush Badoni by spending Rs 4 crore instead of Prithvi Shaw. His name in the report led to some confusion, as Badoni was directly retained, not in the auction. Lucknow’s auction strategy was focused on foreign batsmen, which included players like Mitchell Marsh and Eden Markram. In such a situation, a lack of Indian top order was felt, where Prithvi Shaw could have been an option.
