Prithvi Shaw finds clarity after season away from IPL, eyes fresh start in 2026 edition

New Delhi: A return to familiar colours brings renewed purpose for Prithvi Shaw, who is back with Delhi Capitals for IPL 2026 after going unsold in the previous auction cycle.

KKR predicted playing XI for IPL 2026: Kolkata’s possible opening combo and who will replace Andre Russell?
