Needless to say that Prithvi Shaw was having a bad season from the past one year. He was dropped off from the national squad after miserable performance in the series against Australia. But with the beginning of 2021 he found his rhythm again. He performed exceptionally well in the Vijay Hazare trophy scoring 800 runs in the tournament and leading his team to the trophy win.

His performance in the first match shows that he has continued his form in this season of IPL too.
