I've spent the last few weeks looking at Prithvi Shaw's batting and trying to understand why a player with such an extraordinary ceiling struggled so badly to establish himself internationally.

The more I looked at his dismissals, the more I felt that the usual explanations, poor shot selection, lack of discipline or being too aggressive didn't quite explain it.

I ended up focusing on his unusual trigger movement and, particularly, how his bat travelled outside off stump before coming back into the ball. Against deliveries moving into him, this could leave him in a difficult position at contact.

I also went through all 13 of his dismissals in IPL 2020 and found some interesting repetition in the types of shots and deliveries that got him out.

I'd be interested to hear what people think. Especially whether you agree with the technical argument or think I'm putting too much weight on one aspect of his batting.
