Greg Chappell, the Aussie legend, wrote a letter to Prithvi Shaw with the purpose of giving advice during his challenging period. Recently, the batter was in the spotlight for his off-field controversies rather than his performances with the bat.  

Chappell penned him a letter drawing parallel to Don Bradman, noting that even the greatest batter faced setbacks and had to fight his way back. He highlighted Shaw’s immense potential, suggesting that this drop could ultimately reshape his career positively. 

Reflecting on his own experience, Chappell emphasised how being dropped helped him focus on his physical and mental fitness. He encouraged Shaw to leave the past behind, concentrate on the future, and fully commit to earning a spot back in the Indian team, assuring him that he and others are ready to offer support.

He concluded the letter with a heartfelt message, offering his unwavering support for the batter, stating, “Know that I – and many others—believe in you and are here to support your journey back to the top. If there’s ever a way I can help or if you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. You have everything within you to reach your full potential. Wishing you all the best on this journey. Regards, Greg,”

The latest setback came when he was dropped from Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad, reportedly due to issues with his fitness and a lack of commitment to training.
