When the best keeper, one of the safest slip fielders and the batsman misses to read your delivery, the bowler must have bowled a good one 😀@PrithviShaw pic.twitter.com/AS3iIINoYB

Meanwhile, Shaw will be disappointed with the way he batted in both the practice matches ahead of the Test series against Australia. In the 4 innings, Shaw could only score a total of 62 runs which is a major sign of worry for India. Team India was hoping that Shaw found his form in the two matches and he can open alongside Mayank Agarwal in absence of Rohit Sharma.
However, after looking promising in the initial phase of all his knocks, Shaw gifted his wicket away. Now, it will be interesting to see whether team India decides to play Shaw in the opening Test or give a test match debut to Shubman Gill at the top order. The first match of the Test series between India and Australia will be a day and night fixture that will begin at Adelaide from December 17.
