During the recent match, Shaw's impressive performance was a key factor in Delhi Capitals' victory. The Mumbai native scored 54 runs in just 38 balls, including seven fours and one six. This crucial half-century allowed DC to put up a formidable total of 213 runs, ultimately leading to a 15-run win and salvaging pride after being eliminated from the playoff race. It is worth noting that prior to this match, Shaw had only scored 47 runs in six matches before being dropped.

In a post-match interview with David Warner, Shaw spoke about the pressure he felt leading up to this match and how he worked hard to earn his place back in the squad. He stated, "The mindset was simple. After being dropped following a string of poor performances, there was a lot of pressure on me. However, I put in the necessary work during practice sessions, which helped me regain my confidence and perform well today. Although it may be a bit late, we are all thrilled with the win. Everyone stepped up and gave their all, which is truly commendable. We are all smiling and happy with the outcome."
