Sanjay Potnis, a Shiv Sena-UBT MLA from Maharashtra's Kalina, has said that people around 25-year-old Prithvi Shaw are taking advantage of the cricketer. "His game is not bad, the people around him are of different kinds...No one is with him at the moment, he is dependent on himself," Potnis added. Notably, Shaw recently went unsold in IPL 2025 mega auction.
