Prithvi Shaw’s Bizarre Hit-Wicket Dismissal In County Game | Watch

INDIA batter Prithvi Shaw who is going through a rough patch in his career was snubbed by the selectors for the West Indies tour and Asian Games because of his IPL performance.

The batter has joined Northamptonshire and be a part of the Royal London One-Day Cup. However, his debut on Friday did not turn out the way he must have expected as he was dismissed in bizarre fashion en route to his knock of 34 in the match against Gloucestershire in the group-B tie in Cheltenham.

On the last ball of the 16th over, Gloucestershire bowler Paul van Meekeren delivered a shortish ball as Shaw tried to pull hook it over fine leg for a big one, but failed to make a contact. However, in doing so, he lost his balance and fell awkwardly on the ground and then kicked his own stumps, resulting in a hit wicket dismissal.

“It’s a great opportunity for me and I’m really thankful to Northamptonshire for giving me this chance to express myself here,” Shaw said as the statement read. “It’s going to be amazing I think and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Before his debut on Friday, he had played a practice match as well where he scored a thundering 39-ball 65 as the club later shared a v ideo of it with the caption: “Getting straight down to business. A rapid 65 off just 39 balls for Prithvi in the 2XI this morning.”
