Shaw's team Delhi Capitals called the 21-year-old "our Shaw Stopper."

Shaw made his debut for India in the Tests against West Indies in Rajkot in 2018, becoming the first batsman to hit a century on Test debut. He has 335 runs from four Tests and 84 runs from three ODIs. 

However, Shaw has endured a poor run in IPL 2020, returning scores of 0, 9, 10, 7, 0 and 0 in his last six innings.
