This positive turnaround comes after a difficult year where Shaw struggled with fitness concerns and disciplinary issues. Things got so rough that the young opener was dropped from Mumbai’s Ranji squad in the middle of the 2024 season and did not find any buyers in the IPL 2025 auction.
Prithvi Shaw's IPL career
His last IPL appearance came for Delhi Capitals in the 2024 season, where he featured in eight matches. The Mumbaikar had made his IPL debut with Delhi Capitals in 2018, and since then, he has played 79 matches so far and scored 1892 runs at an impressive strike rate of 147.46 with the help of 14 fifties.
