Follow UsDelhi Capitals' opener Prithvi Shaw has a fever of some kind and is unlikely to play their final two IPL 2022 league stage matches, according to team's assistant coach Shane Watson.
Shaw has not featured in DC's last threes games against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
"I don't know his diagnosis exactly," Watson told the Grade Cricketer.
"But he has just had this underlying fever for the previous couple of weeks, which they've had to really get to the bottom of it to find out exactly what it was. It's not looking great for him to be available for the last couple of games, which is a big shame because he is an incredibly skilful young batter taking the best bowlers in the world down a lot of the time."
Shaw has been in hospital as he shared an update about in on Instagram.
"It's a big loss for us to not have him. The last couple of weeks he has been under the weather. Hopefully, he gets back to full health soon, but unfortunately, it's not going to be in time for the minimum of last two games that we've got," Watson said.
Delhi Capitals are fifth in the table and face Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians in the race for playoffs.
