NEW DELHI:
Prithvi Shaw
's weakness against incoming deliveries that sneak through his defences and crash into his stumps is well-known.
The opener has been clean bowled innumerable times by deliveries coming back in.
In the Day-night Test against Australia at Adelaide in December 2020, Shaw was clean bowled by
Mitchell Starc
and
Pat Cummins
in the first and second innings respectively with deliveries that came back in.
And in the ongoing
Ranji Trophy final
against
Vidarbha
at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Shaw was dismissed in a similar manner in the seventh over of Mumbai second innings.
The bowler this time was
Yash Thakur
who bowled an in-seam delivery at 133.4kph pitched at good length.
Shaw (11) looked to defend from the crease without accounting for the movement off the deck, but the ball sneaked through the bat-pad gap to crash into the stumps.
Shaw couldn't believe it and walked off shaking his head.
The domestic handle of the Indian cricket board (
BCCI
) shared a video of the dismissal on X:
