Sehwag said, these players have the ability to win matches
But in this season of IPL their reputation is going down.
New Delhi. Virender Sehwag is very disappointed with the performance of Delhi Capitals opener Prithvi Shaw and Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Andre Russell in IPL 2023 so far. According to Sehwag, Prithvi Shaw and Andre Russell have the ability to win matches for the team in any situation on their own. However, both these players have not performed well this season. Sehwag said, Shaw and Russell’s shot selection is not looking right, which is reducing their reputation. Both the players are big hitters, but the bowlers have managed to silence them.
Delhi Capitals gave Prithvi Shaw a chance to play in 6 out of 7 matches. Shaw could not play a big innings even once and scored a total of 47 runs in 6 matches. During this, his highest score was 15 runs. Somewhere Delhi Capitals also had to bear the brunt of Prithvi Shaw’s failure. The team had to see defeat in the first 5 matches.
On the other hand, if we talk about Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Andre Russell, he also looks colorless. The Caribbean player has scored 108 runs in 8 matches so far. The edge of Andre Russell’s bowling is also looking blunt this season. He has been able to take only 5 wickets so far.
‘Shaw missed a big opportunity’
Talking on Star Sports, Virender Sehwag said that I had high hopes from Prithvi Shaw because he had scored runs in domestic cricket. If he had scored runs in IPL as well, the doors of the Indian team could have been opened for him, but he could not do so. Sehwag said, everyone knows Andre Russell as a player who can turn the tide of the match. KKR has also been relying on him for a long time, but he has also been a constant flop.
