It's high time he finds a way to score runs said Vaughan. Reacting to Shaw's woes in this IPL, former England captain Michael Vaughan said the talented right-hander can't just play on reputation now.

They lost the first five of their matches and managed to sneak out a win against Kolkata Knight Riders after nearly making a mountain of the 128-run target at the Kotla. Delhi Capitals' David Warner and Delhi Capitals' Prithvi Shaw celebrate a four runs during Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Delhi Capitals' and Kolkata Knight Riders, in New Delhi, India, Thursday, April 20, 2023. His strike rate of 117 is the lowest by some distance in his IPL career. Batting long was never his strength in this format but in the 16th edition of the tournament, he hasn't even been able to provide a single brisk start to the Delhi Capitals till now. That's highly below par from someone of Shaw's calibre. He has hit only 8 boundaries and has batted a total of 40 deliveries. Shaw has not survived till the end of the powerplay even once in six attempts in this IPL. His shortcomings against raw pace and the moving ball have once again been laid bare. With scores of 13, 12, 7, 0, 15 and 0 it is safe to say that Prithvi Shaw has had a nightmarish start to IPL 2023.
