Om Sai Ram," Shaw had posted on Instagram.

Mumbai captain Shreyas Iyer, after their SMAT win, highlighted the importance of self-discipline for Prithvi Shaw, urging him to improve his work ethics and take responsibility for his career. 

"He needs to get his work ethics right, and if he does that, the sky is the limit for him. We can't babysit anyone, right? Every professional playing at this level needs to know what they should be doing. He has also done it in the past; it's not that he hasn’t. He has to focus, sit back, put a thinking cap on, and figure it out himself," Iyer stated.
