With one win in six outings, DC have had a torrid start to their IPL 2023 campaign. The biggest concern for DC has been the form of opening batter Prithvi Shaw, who has failed to get starts so far. In six matches, Shaw has conjured just 43 runs, which is highly below-par for a player of his calibre.

Michael Vaughan said on Cricbuzz –

“Early in the tournament, Mark Wood bowled him. His feet went nowhere. He was waiting for the short one but it was pitched up and he was nowhere near the line of the ball. I think Prithvi needs runs.” Speaking on his struggles, ex-England captain Michael Vaughan feels that Shaw needs to score runs as he can’t just play on reputation.

Michael Vaughan added – “He can’t just keep going on reputation, can’t just keep harping about what you’ve done in the past, you have to produce runs here and there. He has had a poor start. I don’t he has gone beyond the powerplay.”
