Mumbai November 28, 2024 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau)- Mumbai batter Prithvi Shaw, on Monday, went unsold at the IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah. He was presented on the second day of the auction, for a base price of INR 75 lakh, but attracted no bidders and was also not recalled during the accelerated round. Amid the IPL snub, a video on social media went viral where Shaw broke his silence on the endless trolling he has faced since incurring a downfall in his cricketing career.
In a video that was originally shared on the YouTube channel “Focused Indian” on the eve of the auction in Jeddah, Shaw was seen talking about how he deals with criticism on social media. He pointed out that most of these social media users don’t follow him on any of the websites and yet are keeping a tab of his activities, which he rather took it positively, but admitted that some of the memes and posts shared do hurt him.
“If he is not following me, then how will he troll? That means he has eyes on me, nice. “I feel like trolling is not a good thing, but it is not such a bad thing either,” Shaw said. “If people make memes on me, I see them as well. I sometimes get hurt.”
Shaw reflected back on a recent trolling incident on a video that had gone viral on social media, where he was seen dancing, saying that it was only his birthday as he questioned the logic behind some of the brutal reactions he got to read.
