Prithvi Shaw’s Long List Of Controversies: Fight With Musheer Khan To Clash With Social Media Influencer Sapna Gill - Check In Pics

A three-day practice match between Mumbai and Maharashtra at the MCA Stadium in Pune turned controversial after a heated on-field altercation involving Prithvi Shaw and Mumbai bowler Musheer Khan.

The fight escalated when Shaw allegedly tried to grab Musheer Khan’s collar and even swung his bat in anger, forcing umpires and teammates to intervene and calm the situation.

Shaw played a blistering innings of 181 runs off 220 balls, smashing 21 fours and three sixes. However, his brilliant performance was marred by his aggressive confrontation with Musheer Khan.

In February 2023, Shaw was involved in a public brawl with social media influencer Sapna Gill, after refusing to take more selfies. The incident turned violent and resulted in police complaints against both parties.

Shaw’s fitness issues have been well-documented. Reports in late 2024 revealed his body fat percentage had reached 35%, leading to his exclusion from Mumbai’s Ranji and Vijay Hazare squads.

Shaw was handed an eight-month suspension by the BCCI in 2019 after failing a doping test during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The banned substance detected was terbutaline, which is prohibited by WADA.

During his stint with Delhi Capitals, coach Ricky Ponting criticized Shaw for refusing to practice during a slump. Ponting revealed Shaw told him, “I’m not batting today,” reflecting his alleged poor attitude.

The incident has once again placed Shaw’s disciplinary record under scrutiny, reviving memories of his off-field controversies and poor discipline that have plagued his career.
