Rishabh Pant became the most expensive player in the history of the Indian Premier League last month .

His Delhi Capitals teammate Prithvi Shaw went unsold at the mega auction in Saudi Arabia .

Sourav Ganguly and Ricky Ponting were among those seated in the auction in positions to make bids.

But their disinterest was telling.

Former India batsman Praveen Amre says Shaw 's inability to handle IPL fame and money has been his undoing.

Kevin Pietersen says Shaw is too talented to throw it all away.

Rahul Dravid has emphasised the need for stronger junior-level mentoring to keep players on track.
