Mumbai: The promising Prithvi Shaw says he had started "worrying" about his technique after being dropped in Australia before roaring back to form in domestic cricket, thanks to a few technical changes he made in his game.
Shaw, 21, was dropped after his twin failures in the opening Test at Adelaide last December.
However, the Mumbai batsman dominated the Vijay Hazare Trophy like no other in the history of the tournament, amassing a whopping 827 runs in eight matches.
Then, Shaw made a blistering 72 off 38 balls in Delhi Capitals' first match of the season against Chennai Super Kings.

"After getting dropped from the Test side after the first Test in Australia, I started worrying about my technique on why I was getting bowled. Even if it was a minor mistake, I wanted to minimise that. I started working on it there itself," said Shaw after Delhi Capitals' win over Punjab Kings on Sunday night.
He smashed 32 off just 17 balls against Punjab Kings, hitting three fours and two sixes.
"I worked on my initial movement -- getting more stable and more ready before the bowler has bowled.
"After returning from Australia, I worked with my coach Prashant Shetty sir and also Pravin Amre sir before going to the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and it worked quite well. I played my natural game in Vijay Hazare Trophy, but I made a small technical change. After that, it's going well.
