Prithvi Shaw, listed at a base price of ₹75 lakh, went unsold during the IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, marking a low point in his career. Former Delhi Capitals assistant coach Mohammad Kaif criticized Shaw, saying the franchise backed him extensively despite inconsistent performances. Kaif revealed how he and Ricky Ponting repeatedly included Shaw in the playing XI despite doubts but noted that the batter failed to capitalize. Calling the unsold status "shameful," Kaif urged Shaw to follow Sarfaraz Khan's example by excelling in domestic cricket to rebuild his reputation and return to the IPL.
