From taunts of waste to 'Mission India'…Prithvi Shaw roared – No need of any mentor, I am working three times harder than before

New Delhi. Prithvi Shaw, known as the 'Wonder Boy' of Indian cricket, now seems to be a changed person and player. This aggressive batsman of Delhi Capitals has not only broken his silence regarding his return to Team India, but has also answered the critics with his new 'work ethics'. Shaw believes that it is no longer enough to give 100 percent on the field, rather he will have to give his all to regain Team India's jersey.

Talking about the struggle of his comeback, Prithvi Shaw made it clear that his only aim is to make a place in the Indian team again. He said, 'This is what I am playing for. There is no doubt that I have to make a comeback in Team India and that is why I am working so hard. Today I am sweating three times more than I used to work hard. I feel that I am not giving my 100 percent, but 200 percent to make a comeback.

New mantra of discipline and practice
The biggest reason for this change in Shaw's game is the maturity in his thinking. His approach towards practice sessions has now become very strict. He says that there is no use in practicing with 50 percent effort. In the words of Prithvi, 'If you are on the field, give your 100 percent, otherwise don't come on the field.'

'No need of any mentor'
For the first time, Prithvi Shaw spoke so candidly about off-field controversies and his ups and downs-filled career. He accepted that with time a person has to understand his own mistakes. Prithvi said, 'As you grow up, you realize your mistakes. You don't need a senior or a mentor to tell you what you already know. It is better that you yourself understand those things in time and move forward. In this season of IPL for Delhi Capitals, Prithvi Shaw's bat is not only desperate to score runs, but he is also fully prepared to knock the doors of the selectors with his behavior and discipline.
