Prithvi Shaw scored 827 runs in the tournament as he led Mumbai to win the Vijay Hazare Trophy title. Shaw also scored the most run by any player in a single season of the tournament. He scored four centuries in the tournament with the best of 227 against Pondicherry. Before the domestic tournament, Shaw had a forgetful tour to Australia and was benched for the subsequent England series.

After a title-winning season for Mumbai, Prithvi Shaw opened up on the hard work that he put in the meantime. He hit 105 fours and 25 sixes in the course of scoring these runs for Mumbai.

His technique was badly exposed in the Australia series by Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins Even his Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting pinpointed the weakness of his batting technique as well. A high backlift and the bat coming down at an angle from gully, made Shaw a candidate for bowled and leg before to deliveries coming in.

Had To Work Hard: Prithvi Shaw

“It was a bit difficult but you know, my only thing was go-back and work hard, just those small mistakes, what was happening in Australia, just to fill those blanks and come back stronger,” Shaw said at the post-match presentation when asked how did he come back strong after the Australia tour.

Prithvi Shaw also praised Mumbai wicketkeeper-batsman Aditya Tare for his matchwinning knock. He scored an unbeaten 118 as Shaw scored 73 off just 39 balls opening the batting for Mumbai.

He (Tare) batted so well today. It needed so much in the (match) situation. It could have gone any other way. He batted brilliantly and got his hundred, so everyone was happy definitely because finishing the game it’s not easy and he played superbly,” added Shaw.

Shaw’s recent domination with the bat might just earn him an India recall for the ODI series against England. After the ongoing five-match T20I series, both teams will play a three-match series in Pune.
