Prithvi Shaw, who won India the Under-19 World Cup under his captaincy in 2018, also made his international debut in 2018 itself.

He played the last international match against Sri Lanka in July 2021 as ODI and since then he could not play any match for India.
Shaw was included in the squad for the T20 series against New Zealand this year, but was not made a part of the playing-11 in the presence of Shubman Gill and Rituraj Gaikwad.

Prithvi's last IPL season was also nothing special. He opens for the Delhi Capitals team, but could not score more than 15 runs in any innings of the first 6 matches of the tournament. He was benched by the team and then given a chance in the last league match. Shaw won his team by putting fifty in it.
