Overrated!

Shaw is so overrated. Shaw is the next Kambli. He will throw it away with this kind of poor attitude and arrogance.

Arrogant behaviour!

Shaw behaving as if he was wrongly banned from cricket.

My dear you were banned because you took drugs (Knowingly or unknowingly).

Now If you want to replace Rohit or Mayank than you need to focus only on cricket & pile runs against some quality teams.

Learn Some Humility!

Dude! No one gives a shit. Learn some humility. He is not even a regular! Maybe it's the set up in Mumbai or time spent under Kohli that makes players behave like this. Smh. Not a good look.
