Injured Prithvi Shaw shares cryptic message on Instagram: Check out what he wrote here!

Prithvi Shaw, the young and talented Indian cricketer, recently took to social media to share a cryptic post as he recovers from a Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) injury that he sustained during his English county stint. Prithvi posted a picture of his injured leg along with the caption - "People give hands when you step up in life, and always leaves it when you go down from steps".  In his post, Shaw shared a picture of himself on the steps. This cryptic message left fans speculating about his current state of mind and his determination to bounce back stronger than ever.

Shaw was impressive during his short stint with Northamptonshire as he slammed 244 against Somerset. However, he picked up the injury soon after the match and according to reports, he will need a minimum of two months to make a complete return. "Prithvi injured his knee while fielding in the fixture against Durham and subsequent scan results received this morning have revealed the injury is worse than initially expected," Northamptonshire stated in a media release.

Prithvi Shaw's successful county stint in England

The 23-year-old Shaw made a fine impression during his short stint with the Steelbacks during the One-Day Cup 2023, amassing 429 runs in four innings. His run-making spree included a mammoth 244 off 153 balls against Somerset on August 9, leading Northants to an 87-run victory. John Sadler, the head coach of Northamptonshire, said it was a massive disappointment to let go of a player like Shaw. "In his short stint Prithvi has made a huge impact on us as a club. It's a huge shame he won't be with us for the remainder of this competition," said Sadler.

Prithvi Shaw was previously seen as India's next big thing in cricket. He had a spectacular start to his international career, making a century in his first Test. However, his career did not go as easily as one may have thought. Shaw has only played five Tests, six ODIs, and one T20I since his debut against the West Indies in Rajkot five years ago. The 23-year-old has been embroiled in numerous issues both on and off the field. Shaw has also been lacking in runs and has slipped down the pecking order. So much so that he was not even considered for the Asian Games 2023 squad, which is made up of fringe players.
