He has been dismissed playing those kinds of shots so many times

“He has been dismissed playing those kinds of shots so many times… but he should also learn from his mistakes, right?,” Sehwag said. “Look at Shubman Gill, who played U-19 cricket with him and is now playing Test, ODIs, and T20Is for India, but Shaw is still struggling in IPL. He has to make the most of this IPL platform and score runs.

Virender also compared Shaw with Ruturaj Gaikwad

Sehwag also compared Shaw with Ruturaj Gaikwad who has already won the IPL Orange Cap. Once and is among the leading run-scorers this season as well.

Sehwag said, giving Shaw a much-needed reality check

“Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 600 odd runs in an IPL season. Shubman Gill also scored big runs. So even Shaw has to be consistent with his IPL scores,” Sehwag said, giving Shaw a much-needed reality check.

Sai Sudharsan’s half-century and a whirlwind cameo by David Miller powered holders Gujarat Titans to a six-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League on Tuesday.

Chasing 163 for victory on a tricky pitch. Sudharsan (62) and fellow left-hander Miller (31) put together an unbeaten stand of 56 to steer their team home with 11 balls to spare in Delhi.
