The 24-year-old recently worked as a net bowler for the Indian team during the one-off Test against Afghanistan in Mullanpur. The opportunity came shortly after his IPL debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2026 season and his performances in the Madhya Pradesh League (MPL).
"To me, Gautam sir said that, 'Shivang, you are a good combination of chinaman bowling and batting. You work hard, you work on your batting, and you are a chinaman bowler, so you have to improve yourself more.'
