Prithvi Shaw has had an underwhelming season so far, and that certainly has had an impact on his team, with Delhi Capitals beginning their season with three straight losses.
Ahead of 2023 IPL Capitals, Coach Ricky Ponting promised spectators they would see a new Shaw in action.
But the Delhi opener has struggled to get runs and during DC's home game against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, Shaw fell for a low score.
Shaw's scores this season have been: 12, 7, 0, 15.
