Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw and his fiancee Akriti Agarwal offered prayers and attended the morning Bhasm Aarti at Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain on Friday.

Speaking to ANI outside the temple, Shaw said, "It felt amazing. I am here for Bhasma Aarti for the very first time. I had heard a lot about it. I felt great positivity here. Darshan was really good, thanks to everyone."

Men in Blue won their third Men's T20 World Cup title on Sunday after defeating New Zealand by 96 runs in the final, and Shaw stressed that 'more such World Cups will follow'.

"Our country is cruising ahead; we have won not just one but two World Cups (T20 World Cup). More such World Cups will follow," he said.

Shaw recently got engaged to his long-time girlfriend, Akriti Agarwal. On Sunday, Prithvi shared the good news with his fans and followers on Instagram, uploading adorable pictures from the function.

"From sixes on the field to a lifetime of hits off it. She's is my perfect innings!" he captioned the post.

The 26-year-old Shaw will be playing for Delhi Capitals (DC) in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season after being picked by DC for Rs 75 lakh in last year's mini auction. He has made 1892 runs in his IPL career in 79 innings with an average of 23 and a strike rate of 147.

In the last domestic season, Shaw made 193 runs in six innings for Maharashtra in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) with the help of a couple of half-centuries.

He has played five Tests for India, scoring 339 runs in nine innings, including a century and two fifties. He has also scored 189 in six ODIs for India, with the best score of 49. However, he did not score in the solitary T20I he played. Shaw last played a match for India back in 2021.

Great to see him seeking blessings. But honestly, as a fan, I'm more concerned about his cricket. He has immense talent but needs consistency. Hope this new phase in his personal life brings the focus back to his batting. The country needs him back in the Indian team!

Bhasm Aarti at Mahakaleshwar is a powerful experience. Good on him for visiting. His comment about more World Cups is the spirit! 🇮🇳 Let's hope he channels this positivity into some big scores for Delhi Capitals. We need the old Prithvi Shaw back, smashing boundaries.

What a beautiful sentiment - "From sixes on the field to a lifetime of hits off it." Wishing the lovely couple all the best! It's nice to see a sports article that also highlights personal milestones and faith.

His stats show he's capable, but he hasn't played for India since 2021. That's a long gap. The competition is fierce. He must have a blinder of an IPL season to even be in contention. Prayers are good, but hard work on the field is what will count. All the best to him.

Jai Mahakal! 🕉️ Ujjain is such a spiritual place. Happy for his engagement and his visit. Sometimes, taking a break for personal happiness and spiritual recharge is exactly what an athlete needs to come back stronger. Hope we see him in blue soon!
