Punjab Kings won the coin toss against Delhi Capitals in the second IPL 2024 match on Saturday and elected to field first. The unexpected twist came with the omission of young Prithvi Shaw from the Capitals’ starting lineup, leaving fans guessing as Captain Rishabh Pant remained tight-lipped on the matter.

While certain fans speculate he might be lacking match fitness, leading to his absence in today’s game, others suspect he could be nursing an injury, resulting in his exclusion.

It makes no sense for me to retain Prithvi Shaw if you don't wanna play him in the 11.#DCvsPBKS

Prithvi Shaw, what a fall. From being called as the next biggest superstar to not even finding a place in the impact list even when they've named 5 subs

Imagine having a player like Prithvi Shaw in your squad but not in playing XI. No wonder Delhi Capitals are trophyless.. 🤡🤡

Shaw must be unwell or having an injury otherwise hard to understand why he's not playing.
