Prithvi Shaw set to ply his trade for the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026:
Meanwhile, the right-handed batter failed to earn a deal from an IPL franchise last year, owing to form and fitness issues. However, the Delhi Capitals swooped in to secure his services for his base price of ₹75 lakh. In 79 IPL games, Shaw has managed 1892 runs at 23.95 alongside a striker rate of 147.47 with 14 half-centuries.
The 26-year-old had an outstanding Test debut, scoring 134 while opening the innings against the West Indies in Rajkot. However, his Test career went massively downhill following that, with disciplinary and fitness issues also emerging apart from form. Aside from five Tests, he has also featured in six ODIs and a solitary T20I.
Shaw will hope to perform well in IPL 2026 return to the reckoning to represent the Indian team again.
