IPL 2022: Prithvi Shaw returns to Delhi Capitals Playing XI FITTER than ever, sheds weight ahead of IND vs SA Squad selection
Prithvi Shaw was diagnosed with typhoid and had to be hospitalised with a high fever. While he was back at Delhi Capitals camp, he was still in recovery phase. The team doctors took a last-minute call and made himself available for the match.
Shaw did take quite some time to fully recover from his illness, and this helped the youngster to improve his fitness. Shaw was left out of the squad owing to his fitness problems and ahead of IPL 2022 he reportedly failed the mandatory Yo-Yo test.
Cricketers are one of the fittest athletes in the world. And thus to keep their place in the squad, they have to undergo a tough training regime to stay at the top of their fitness and health. Shaw apparently has taken an approach to improving his fitness and that was apparent with the considerably noticeable weight loss. It can be understood that Shaw is currently targeting a spot for the upcoming South Africa tour of India.
One change for Delhi Capitals. 👊

The young batter couldn’t make a huge impact on DC’s last group stage game against MI, as a brilliant spell from Jasprit Bumrah sent him packing to the pavilion.
The Delhi opener managed to score 24 runs out of 23 with 2 fours and a solitary sixer. Jasprit Bumrah trapped Shaw with a perfect bouncer to dismiss the batter. An inch-perfect bouncer direct towards the head of Shaw saw the Dc batter struggling to play the delivery and give away a catch to Ishan Kishan.
