Prithvi Shaw posts cryptic message after South Africa ODI series snub

Cricketer Prithvi Shaw has posted a cryptic message on Instagram after not being selected in the India squad for the ODIs against South Africa.

Many senior India players have been rested for the ODI series against the Proteas with skipper Rohit Sharma and batter Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav among them. In their absence, Shikhar Dhawan will lead the team.

While Rajat Patidar and Mukesh Kumar have received their maiden ODI call-up for the upcoming matches, opener Prithvi Shaw has been ignored by the selectors. Now, the Mumbai opener has posted a cryptic Instagram Story on his personal handle that has left fans talking.

“Don’t trust their words, trust their actions, because actions will prove why words are meaningless” was the quote shared by Prithvi Shaw on his Instagram Story.
