Prithvi Shaw and his fiancée Akriti Agarwal announced their split on Thursday, just six months after tying the knot.
Agarwal, a social media personality, posted a heartfelt statement saying the decision was mutual and stemmed from divergent future goals.
The breakup comes as Shaw's cricketing career is at a crossroads. He was bought for Rs 75 lakh by Delhi Capitals in the 2026 IPL auction but missed the entire season.
Mumbai had released him from the Ranji squad last October; he’s now shuffling between Maharashtra and club commitments.
With the engagement photos removed, Shaw’s focus turns to securing a spot for the next IPL season and re‑establishing himself as a senior opener.
The 26‑year‑old’s next challenge: to hit 75 lakh bid and claim a starting berth for Delhi Capitals, a move that could reignite his international prospects.
