It’s my perfect innings! #justengaged,” Prithvi wrote on Instagram.The engagement comes shortly after Shaw’s childhood friend Arjun Tendulkar tied the knot with Saaniya Chandhok earlier this week.With the celebrations over, Shaw will soon move back to cricket as the upcoming Indian Premier League season approaches. The right-handed batsman will represent Delhi Capitals, who picked him up for Rs 75 crore during the auction. However, it remains to be seen whether he will secure a regular place in the playing eleven.Shaw’s return to Delhi is notable as he went unsold during the IPL 2025 auction before being brought back by the franchise that has been his home since the start of his IPL journey. He made his league debut in 2018 and has spent his entire IPL career with the Capitals.In 79 matches in the tournament, Shaw scored 1,892 runs at an average of nearly 24 and a strike rate of 147.46, including 14 half-centuries. Despite those numbers, inconsistent form over the last few seasons meant he struggled for momentum, ultimately leading to him not being sold last year.However, Shaw showed signs of revival in domestic cricket while representing the Maharashtra cricket team. This improvement helped him secure another IPL contract and he will now look to make the most of the opportunity to re-establish himself in the league.
