The right-handed batter made his India debut in 2018 and scored a century in his first Test against the West Indies. Shaw was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 75 lakh in the accelerated round of the IPL 2026 auction. However, he did not play a single match in the 2026 IPL season. Mumbai released him from their Ranji Trophy squad in October 2024. The 26-year-old has since continued to play domestic cricket for Maharashtra.
“With a heavy heart, I would like to share that my fiancé and I have decided to part ways due to different goals and circumstances for our future.
She said the decision was mutual and came after the couple realised that their future goals and circumstances were different. NEW DELHI: India cricketer Prithvi Shaw and his fiancee Akriti Agarwal have decided to part ways around six months after announcing their engagement. As much as we love and care for each other, we’ve come to accept that our paths are not meant to be together. With our responsibilities and the circumstances we are currently facing, we have mutually decided to go our separate ways,” Agarwal wrote on Instagram. “I genuinely wish nothing but the best, peace, and happiness for both of us as we move forward. I kindly request everyone to respect our privacy during this difficult time and refrain from speculating or making assumptions about the reasons behind our decision. Thank you for understanding and respecting our space,” she added. The engagement came at a crucial point in Shaw’s career as he looked to rebuild his standing in domestic and franchise cricket. His domestic career has also faced setbacks.
Agarwal, a social media personality and actress, confirmed the separation in a statement on social media on Thursday.
