Shaw has been in good touch since his move over to Maharashtra, notching one century and one half-century during the recently concluded Buchi Babu Invitational Cricket Tournament in Chennai.
The right-handed opener made the switch to Maharashtra from Mumbai in the off-season, as he looks to return to the form that saw him receive an India call-up in 2018. Shaw made his debut for Mumbai in 2017, scoring a century on debut against Tamil Nadu, before making 4556 runs in 58 First-Class appearances at an average of 46.02.
He has also made five Test appearances for India, scoring 339 runs at an average of 42.37 including a memorable 134 on debut against the West Indies. His last appearance for the Test side came during the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
