According to the reports, Delhi Capitals have released their star Indian player, Prithvi Shaw. While there is no official confirmation yet, a journalist broke the news on X (formerly Twitter). It is a massive move by the team management.
Prithvi Shaw endured a shocking campaign with the willow this year. He could only assemble 106 runs at an average of 13.25 and a strike rate of 124.70 in eight innings. Shaw, who could only make one fifty this season, was also dropped for a few games in the tournament.
