India vs Sri Lanka: Prithvi Shaw impresses with fiery shots during 2nd intra-squad game - WATCH

India batsman Prithvi Shaw is currently in Sri Lanka as the Shikhar-Dhawan-led team is preparing for the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka. With key players such as captain Virat Kohli and vice-captain Rohit Sharma in the UK for the upcoming five-match Test series against England, Dhawan has been given the reigns to a lead of white-ball specialists in Sri Lanka.

Before the start of the series, which will see three ODIs and three T20Is, India indulged in two intra-squad matches in which all the players in the squad were divided into two teams. The players played a simulation match between themselves to get accustomed to the playing conditions.
