Will Prithvi Shaw’s poor form with the Indian team be a concern for DC?

No Comments

Prithvi Shaw was included in the squad for the ODI and the Test series against New Zealand in February. It was a great opportunity for the young batsman to showcase his talent but Shaw never seemed quite in the groove throughout the series. Kiwi pacers, Trent Boult and Tim Southee exposed the chinks in Prithvi Shaw’s armor. 

Shaw struggled a lot against the short balls as he has a big back-lift which leads to bat face to be closed by the time the delivery reaches to him. Although the experts were quick to point out the fault in Shaw’s techniques, Indian skipper backed the young batsman and said that it’s not fair to judge a young batsman playing away from home at such a huge level after a few mistakes. The skipper seemed assured that Shaw will naturally figure it out owing to his natural stroke playing skills. But the young talent was not the only one to struggle against the Kiwi attack. Other big names in the Indian batting lineup also struggled and failed to gauge the nature of the pitch. 

Delhi Capitals will play their first match on the second day of the 2020 IPL Schedule against Kings XI Punjab. This will be Shaw’s third season for the team from the national capital. He has played a total of 25 matches for the team and scored 598 runs with a strike rate of 141. Although his recent form has not been good, it doesn’t seem that it will affect his performance in the IPL.

India will host the South Africans for a three-match ODI series from 12 March to 18 March 2020. The 15-man squad for the series was announced by the BCCI on 8 March 2020. Prithvi Shaw has been picked up in the squad. This selection will help him with his confidence as he is getting the backing of the selectors as well as the skipper. This series will be a good chance for Shaw to find his form and get going before the IPL starts. Rohit Sharma’s absence in the series may provide Shaw with a chance to open the innings for the national side against the Proteas.

Delhi Capitals finished third in the 2019 season of the IPL. This time around, they will be looking to finish in the top two of the IPL Points Table to make their path to the final and eventually to the trophy a bit simple. Delhi Capitals looks strong in the batting department with the likes of Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh PAnt and Prithvi Shaw. This year’s IPl is also going to be crucial for a lot of players as it will be a major chance for the players to show their case for the selection for the 2020 ICC Twenty20 World Cup. A good showing in the ODI series followed by a good haul of runs in the IPL can somewhat guarantee a place for Prithvi Shaw in the upcoming World Cup. But it ain’t going easy for the batsman from the Bombay school of cricket. A lot of talented players are going to be fighting for a select few spots and it will be interesting to see how players perform over the whole span of the tournament.

How to Get Your Car Ready to Sell

No Comments

Your car is no doubt your pride and joy, but eventually, it becomes time to move on and buy a new one. Whether it’s because you need a bigger car for your growing family, or want something smaller and sportier, before you start car shopping, you’ll need to sell your old one. Nobody wants their car to sit on the market for ages, so here are some ways you can make it more attractive and more likely to sell quickly. 

Fix any small issues

Before you sell your car, you should ensure it’s well maintained, otherwise, even small things can put off a potential buyer. Some jobs you might need to do include:

  • Topping up oils and fluids so you don’t end up with lights on the dashboard
  • Replacing light bulbs
  • Replacing old wipers
  • Fixing any small, cosmetic issues

If you go to buy a car and there’s an issue like a broken wiper that needs replacing, this is often a red flag, so make sure these jobs are done before you list it.

Fix small scratches and dents

Most buyers will inspect the car carefully before they buy it, and things like small scratches and dents may lead to them trying to get a cheeky discount. Before people come to look at the car, look at some of the products on https://www.liquidr.com.au and repair any small dents with a suction cup, so that the bodywork looks as good as possible.

Give it a good deep clean

Either take the car to a valet, where it can be washed by hand inside and out or do it yourself at home. If you wash your own car, make sure you use suitable products and try to avoid getting streaks on the window by cleaning them with a microfiber cloth. 

Cars that look dirty or smell bad will instantly be a turn-off for buyers, so make sure you get the crumbs out of every crevice, clean the upholstery and use an air freshener to get rid of lingering smells. Don’t use anything that’s too strong smelling, such as vanilla or pine scents, as this can also put people off. 

Make some small upgrades

A few small upgrades can make your car stand out from the crowd and ensure it catches the eye of potential buyers. Whether it’s a new set of tyres to replace old, worn ones, or some new car mats, if you are selling an expensive car then it may be worth spending a little money if you think you’ll recoup it anyway. 

Get the paperwork together

It’s a good idea to get any relevant paperwork related to the car’s history together for when people come to view the car. People will want to know that the car is legal and safe, so ensure you have documents like the title and service history at hand.

Getting your car in sale-ready condition means it’s more likely to sell quickly, so you won’t have to wait long to get your newest set of wheels.
