Earlier in the day, his verified account showed Shaw and Tapadia posing with each other on Valentine’s Day. The post has since been deleted from the cricketer's account.

On the work front, Shaw recently made his comeback to the India squad for the three-match T20I series against New Zealand at home earlier this year. The 23-year-old got the opportunity after smashing 379 for Mumbai against Assam in the Ranji Trophy but didn’t get a game against the Kiwis.
