Mumbai-based Delhi Capitals' opener Prithvi Shaw began his IPL-13 campaign scoring two quick half-centuries in his first four games. However, having been dismissed for a duck against Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings and managing just four and seven against Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab respectively, he has failed to retain his spot in DC's playing XI.

Shaw's childhood coach Santosh Pingulkar is understandably disappointed with his ward's performance. "Prithivi should play his normal, attacking style of cricket but should ensure he's not flashy. It's not wise to approach a T20 match like a T10 innings. His basics are good so I feel he should give himself more time at the wicket and then go for his natural, attacking game," Pingulkar told mid-day on Thursday.
