Prithvi Shaw is determined to make a comeback in Team India. Ahead of the IPL 2026, the top order batter revealed how much effort he put in to make it possible. In the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League, he will feature for the Delhi Capitals (DC).

Delhi Capitals again showed their trust in the batter, whose career went down because of a lack of consistency and multiple controversies. Still, he is considered one of the biggest talents in the country. Like multiple cricket fans, DC too has faith in him.

“There’s no doubt that I have to come back to the Indian team. That’s exactly why I’m playing and why I’m working so hard. The amount of effort I used to put in, I put in three times more today. I don’t usually like to talk about it, but I feel I’m giving not just 100%, but 200% to make that comeback”, Shaw told the media.

Shaw can’t think of offering less than 100 percent on the field

On every occasion, whether it is a practice match or a practice day, the 26-year-old batter aims to give 200 percent on the ground.

“Whether it’s winning a trophy, a match day, or even a practice day—I try to give 200%. If I’m not feeling good, I won’t practice. You don’t get anything by practising at 50%. If you’re on the ground, you give your 100%, or you don’t come to the ground at all”, he added.

As he grew older and more mature, Shaw himself mentioned the things he should not have done in the past. He stated that to understand things, it is better to use one’s own thinking process.

You don’t need seniors or mentors: Prithvi Shaw

“Whatever ups and downs happened, I faced them with respect and a smile. As you grow up, you realise your own mistakes. You don’t need seniors or mentors to tell you what you already know. It’s better if you understand those things yourself beforehand and then move forward,” Prithvi Shaw said.

NEW DELHI: Mohamed Salah has announced he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, bringing an emotional end to a glittering nine-year spell. His departure marks the close of one of the club’s most successful eras, with the Egyptian forward firmly established among Liverpool’s all-time greats.Reflecting on his journey, Salah said, “Liverpool is not just a football club. It’s a passion, it’s a history, it’s a spirit. I can’t explain in words to anyone not part of this club.”

A legendary run in numbers

Salah’s impact can best be understood through his staggering numbers. Since joining from Roma in 2017 for around USD 50 million, he has scored 255 goals in 435 appearances, making him Liverpool’s third-highest goalscorer ever, behind only Ian Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285).In the Premier League alone, Salah has been directly involved in 281 goals (189 goals and 92 assists), the most by any player for a single club in the competition’s history.

Salah also delivered in big moments. He scored 48 goals in the Champions League for Liverpool and holds the record for the club’s fastest European goal at 55 seconds. In one memorable night, he scored the fastest Champions League hat-trick in just 6 minutes and 12 seconds.Trophy-wise, he won 8 major titles, including 2 Premier League titles, 1 Champions League, 1 FA Cup, 2 League Cups, the Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup. Individually, he claimed the Premier League Golden Boot 4 times, equalling Thierry Henry’s record.

A complicated end and what lies ahead

Despite his legendary status, Salah’s final season has been turbulent. After a dip in form, he admitted feeling “thrown under the bus”, with reports of tension between him and manager Arne Slot. His output also dropped by his standards, with just a handful of league goals this season.Liverpool, meanwhile, are struggling with injuries, lack of squad depth, and inconsistency, leaving them facing a major rebuild.

Replacing Salah will be a top priority, but filling the gap left by a player of his quality and influence will be a huge challenge.Salah’s future remains uncertain, with possible moves to Saudi Arabia, Major League Soccer, or a return to Europe being discussed. For now, attention turns to giving him a fitting farewell.Whatever comes next, Salah leaves behind a legacy defined by numbers, trophies, and unforgettable moments, cementing his place as one of Liverpool’s greatest-ever players.
