Unless Cricketing view knows Hazrat Zazai is Helicopter Khan's best friend, not sure why he thinks Afg wouldn't pick Prithvi Shaw if he was an Indian. — Karthik Raj (@kartcric) October 14, 2022

SOON WE WILL ENTER INTO THE PRITHVI SHAW ERA.... THE WORLD WILL BOW DOWN UPON HIM..  https://t.co/z8L8t3nth8 — . (@Sourabh_49) October 14, 2022

Shaw was not happy after India's second-string squad was announced for the ODI series at home against South Africa. Interestingly, RCB batter Rajat Patidar was also handed his maiden Men in Blue call-up but shockingly there was no Prithvi Shaw in the squad. With such young names in the squad many were expecting the right-handed opener to make his comeback in Team India after a stellar domestic season.

Shaw dropped a hint of his disappointment with BCCI's decision of not selecting him as he took on his official Instagram and uploaded a story saying, "Don't trust their words, trust their actions, because actions will prove why words are meaningless."

Prithvi Shaw smashed his maiden T20 century in 46 balls against Assam in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament at the same venue of his first Test ton. Interestingly, he has only played one T20I for India so far in his career.
