India cricketer Prithvi Shaw was seen attending Virral Motanni's birthday party ahead of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. The cricketer was spotted driving to the event in a car, wearing a cap and a mask.

As he entered the venue, Prithvi Shaw was surrounded by fans and was asked to pose for pictures. A person from the crowd was also heard wishing him to make a comeback, saying 'strong comeback hoga (You will comeback strong).'

The cricketer has been under fire for his performances on the field and off-field controversies that he has been involved in. He last played for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024. However, he was dropped from the squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

It remains to be seen whether Prithvi Shaw will be picked in Mumbai's squad for the upcoming Ranji Trophy. The right-handed batter recently also put out a cryptic post on his official Instagram handle.

"You can take me out of the game, but you can't stop me working," he wrote.
