Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw was spotted attending Virral Motanni’s birthday celebration ahead of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. Shaw arrived at the venue in a car, wearing a cap and a mask. As he entered, fans surrounded him, requesting pictures and selfies.
One person in the crowd was heard encouraging him with a message of support, saying, “Strong comeback hoga (You will come back strong).” Shaw has faced criticism recently, both for his on-field performances and off-field controversies.
The cricketer last represented Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024 but was excluded from the squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy. It is yet to be determined if Prithvi Shaw will secure a spot in Mumbai’s squad for the upcoming Ranji Trophy. The right-handed batter recently shared a cryptic message on his official Instagram account.
“You can take me out of the game, but you can’t stop me working,” he wrote.
