New Delhi: Mumbai batter Prithvi Shaw has expressed his desire to make a comeback to the Indian men's national team as he prepares for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season with Delhi Capitals (DC).
Prithvi Shaw last featured in an international match back in 2021, when he played a T20I against Sri Lanka. He also endured two poor IPL seasons in 2023 and then 2024 before going unsold in the 2025 season. In IPL 2023, Shaw only scored 106 runs in eight matches at an average of 13.25 in IPL 2023. In IPL 2024, Shaw scored 198 runs at an average of 24.75.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the IPL 2026, Prithvi Shaw said he is fully committed to making a comeback to the Indian team, stressing that he is now putting in far more effort than before.
"That is why I am playing. There's no doubt that I have to come back to the Indian team. That's exactly why I'm playing and why I'm working so hard. The amount of effort I used to put in, I put in three times more today. I feel I'm giving not just 100%, but 200% to make that comeback," Shaw said.
