Sachin Tendulkar advice to Prithvi Shaw
Sachin Tendulkar’s Eye-Opening Advice to Prithvi Shaw: Prithvi Shaw needs every kind of advice possible after remaining unsold in the mega IPL auction, 2025. The 25-year-old had his name mentioned during the auction held in Jeddah last week for two days, and consequently, all ten franchises silently avoided him, not willing to take him in, even during the accelerated process.
There have been a number of headlines concerning Shaw's indiscipline concern over which he was thrown out of the Ranji Trophy squad of Mumbai and has now worsened things regarding poor form, putting him in hot waters. Because runs are difficult to be made - he had scored two ducks in five innings of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy - plus his fitness all over the map, he seems to go down a very dark, gloomy road, but there is one piece of advice that Sachin Tendulkar could ever direct to all the young Indian cricketers, which may now serve as a wake-up call to him.

On Tuesday, Tendulkar inaugurated a memorial for his former coach, Ramakant Achrekar, where he shared a lesson in discipline with the nation's youth, urging them to be more respectful towards their kits. Calling it one of Archrekar's most valuable lessons, Tendulkar highlighted the importance of players being respectful towards their cricket equipment.
"Sir also taught us to respect our kits. Since retiring, I've been saying this to a lot of players, and I see this among many players. They walk back inside (after being dismissed), throw the bat and do a lot of other things. It's because of this bat that you are sitting in this dressing room today. So please never throw it," Tendulkar said.
"I can see a lot of young cricketers here. Please remember, never throw your kit, whether it be the bat or gloves or anything else. Always respect it. There is a place to keep them, and it should be there only. The frustration of your failure… don't take it out on your kits. This was the training sir gave us since we were kids, and all we can promise to do is pass on his message to the next generation. Whether I can do it as well as he did, I don't know. None of us can reach his level."
And Tendulkar reminded us that discipline begins with basics: Shaw really could use some advice in that area. Not that Tendulkar didn't reach out to Shaw already over his issues. After all, the batting maestro went out of his way to set things right with Shaw, when the Board of Control for Cricket in India suspended him for using a banned substance early in 2020. But the improvement seems to have come to a standstill. There has hardly been improvement in either Shaw or his game even four years after such advice from Tendulkar.

Long ago, Shaw was hailed as the next Sachin Tendulkar. But above all, he is seen with criticism, barring enjoying a few occasions in the company of the man. Stress on meets with Sachin first sometime around 2008, when he was still active, at that time Shaw hadn't scored even 10 runs at international level, had all this brought to mind the pampered atmosphere the child must have found.
"I came to know that Sachin sir also plays in MIG (Middle Income Group Ground). The club has a great reputation. I came to that club and started practicing. There, I saw Sachin sir playing, for the first time. I saw him in person for the first time. I saw him from a distance. He was practicing on the main wicket. At that time, I did not take a photo because there were many people. I was around 9 years old then. The next time I was batting, on the middle wicket, Jagdish sir [coach] requested Sachin sir to watch me bat," said Shaw on the Focused Indian YouTube channel.
"Sachin sir was standing on the first floor. I saw that sir was watching. And under that pressure, I missed two or three balls. Till then, I was batting fine. But when Sachin Sir was standing, my eyes were more on him than the ball. Eventually, I started middling and everything went well."
