Following the win, the young DC opener received praise from all quarters for his aggressive style of batting but there was a special message which went viral.

Prachi took to Instagram after the match and posted a story featuring Prithvi. While the first image was of Prithvi speaking at the presentation after being named man of the match, the second image is a collage of the DC opener with the awards he won on Thursday night.


But what made the Instagram post interesting was the captions: The first post was captioned, “So proud of you’, while the second one read, “Need a new suitcase to pack them all.”


Here is the images from her Instagram story:



Although there is no official confirmation about their relationship from the Mumbai opener or the actress, it is pretty clear that they are fond of each other and that sparks speculations as well.


Shaw smashed a belligerent 82 off 41 balls and hit six fours off the first over while chasing 155 to win. He became the first player to hit six boundaries in the first over of an IPL match ever. His fine knock also meant he was named the man of the match.


“Wasn’t thinking anything to be honest. Was just waiting for the loose balls. We’ve played for four-five years now (with Mavi), so I knew where he will bowl to me. I was prepared (for the short ball). The first four-five balls he bowled were half-vollies so I was prepared for the short ball but unfortunately, he didn’t bowl,” he said at the presentation.
