“It’s not looking great for him to be available for the last couple of games, which is a big shame because he is an incredibly skillful young batter taking the best bowlers in the world down a lot of the time,” Shane Watson told the Grade Cricketer on Thursday.

Prithvi Shaw made his debut for Delhi in 2018, and he has been an integral part of the side since then. Delhi Capitals retained Shaw ahead of the IPL 2022 auction as well.
