Former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman was pleased to see young batsman Prithvi Shaw back in form. The opening batsman scored 72 runs from only 38 balls against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). He helped his team win the first match by seven wickets. The 21-year-old had suffered a lean patch in the last IPL season. Prithvi Shaw was dropped from DC's playing eleven after a string of low scores in UAE. He was also omitted from India's Test squad after scoring 0 and 4 in the first Test in Adelaide. After working on his technique, the youngster scored 827 runs in 8 games in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
