The Delhi Capitals opener hit 32 in victory over Punjab Kings - the latest impressive performance since losing his India place
Prthivi Shaw believes his recent return to form can be attributed to a change to his technique.
The 21-year-old lost his India place after the first Test against Australia and upon returning home worked hard on his game.
That appeared to pay dividends during the Vijay Hazare Trophy when Shaw scored 827 runs at 165.40.
He's taken that form into the start of the IPL for Delhi Capitals, scoring a fine 72 in the opening game against Chennai Super Kings.
And after hitting 32 against Punjab Kings on Sunday (April 18) Shaw is enjoying his revival
"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," said the youngster.
"Even if it was a minor mistake, I wanted to minimize that. I started working on it there itself.
"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.
"I didn’t get a lot of practice for IPL, the T20 format. But I got good practice sessions with Ricky Ponting sir, Pravin Amre sir and Prashant Shetty sir."
