The young Indian opener, Prithvi Shaw on Monday was seen training with his Indian and Delhi Capitals (DC) teammate Shreyas Iyer. Shaw also posted a photo with Iyer on his Instagram Stories story and said that it was a “good running session”. In the picture, the duo can be seen enjoying some rest after a tense workout and enjoying some quiet time.

On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer was delighted to see Shaw doing his best and pushing his limits during the workout. Posting a short clip from their running session on social media, Iyer said, “Good to see him pushing his limits.”

Despite Shaw’s terrific form during the Vijay Hazare Trophy and Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, he was excluded from India’s 20-man squad for the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand on June 18. He was the leading run-getter in the Vijay Hazare Trophy as he has amassed 827 runs. Even in IPL 2021, Shaw scored 308 runs in eight games with the help of three half-centuries.

Prithvi Shaw featured in the Indian team for teh last time during the Australia tour for the four-match Test series last year. He performed miserably in his last game for the team, scoring a duck and 4 runs in the first and second innings of the Adelaide Test. India lost the match by eight wickets but went on to win the series, 2-1.

After the Adelaide Test, Shaw failed to make it to the playing XI and was replaced by his Under-19 teammate Shubman Gill, who enjoyed a phenomenal outing with the bat. Gill scored 259 runs in three games and cemented his place as India’s Test opener alongside Rohit Sharma.
