India and Delhi Capitals batsman Prithvi Shaw was back among runs in the recently-concluded Vijay Hazare Trophy after becoming the highest run-getter in the tournament. Shaw who was the skipper of the Mumbai team led his side to the title win. The right-handed batsman had a forgettable Australian tour earlier.
DC coach Ricky Ponting has said that he has enjoyed working with Shaw. "I've tried (taking Shaw under his wing) the last two years and I've really enjoyed working with him," Ponting told cricket.com.au.
Ponting further revealed that the right-handed batsman had a different approach to his batting. “He had an interesting theory on his batting last year – when he's not scoring runs, he won't bat, and when he is scoring runs, he wants to keep batting all the time,” Ponting said.
The former Australia captain suggested that the right-hander has the ability to play for India for a long time. "Maybe (his training habits) have changed for the better, because (his success) won't just be for the Delhi Capitals, I'm sure you'll see him play a lot of cricket for India as well in the coming years," said Ponting.
DC will begin the IPL 2021 against Chennai Super Kings on April 10 in Mumbai. The Delhi-based franchise had the most successful run in the 2020 edition after they made it to the final for the first time but lost to Mumbai Indians.
