IPL 2023: Virender Sehwag not at all impressed by DC's Shaw, says 'he has to...'

Another former India opener, Sunil Gavaskar, also criticised Shaw's technique on air during the match and said, "Once again that backfoot has done him in, it doesnt move at all.
Notably, DC's Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly had before that start of the season that he'll soon be playing for India.
"I think Prithvi Shaw is ready to play for India. Whether he gets an opportunity will depend on slots. I am sure Rohit Sharma and selectors have a close eye on him. He is a good player and ready, Ganguly had told Times of India before the start of IPL 2023.
Shaw, who scored 12 runs in DC's opening game against LSG, was also predicted to have a breakout 2023 season by DC coach Ricky Ponting.
"Hes in a better physical shape than Ive ever seen him before. I spoke to him the other day about his attitude, the way hes working, and how things are going. I honestly feel that this is going to be his biggest season in the IPL. He just has that different look in his eye this year. You can see, hes hungrier than ever," Ponting had said.
It'll be interesting to see how Shaw plays this season now after a couple of failures but complete backing by the team management. DC next play against Rajasthan Royals on April 8 in Guwahati.
