The Delhi Capitals opener is coming on the back of an excellent Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021. He has smacked 827 runs in the competition with the help of four tons. The 21-year-old also led Mumbai to glory in the 50-over contest.
Last season Prithvi Shaw had a forgetful run in the IPL. He had managed to score just 228 runs in 13 matches that included just 2 fifties. It included a number of single-digit scores. His failure forced DC to open with Ajinkya Rahane and Marcus Stoinis which did not work for DC.
Delhi Capitals were runners of IPL 2021 and Prithvi Shaw’s struggle at the top was a key reason behind their failure.
Shaw had worked on his technique to reap rewards in the last few months.
“From Australia when I was dropped I was working from there itself, coming back and across early, so I practised before going to Vijay Hazare with Pravin Amre and worked on that. I had a good plan before going into that tournament, so it is working quite well. I don’t want to think about it (being dropped from the Indian side) because it was a disappointing moment for me but I have to move on and if something is wrong with my batting or technique, I have to improve and I am working hard on myself,” Shaw had said.
