Watson, who has worked with Prithvi Shaw in the past at DC, called him a precious talent who has the potential to become one of Indian cricket's biggest heroes.

Shane Watson and Kevin Pietersen hailed Prithvi Shaw's comeback, praising his immense talent despite setbacks, including going unsold in IPL 2025. They urged the young batter to overcome challenges and reclaim his place in Indian cricket.

India batter Prithvi Shaw, who had begun with a Test century on debut as a teenager, is standing at the crossroads of his career at 25 after none of the IPL franchises were interested in bidding for him even for a base price of Rs 75 lakh.
