Prithvi Shaw's previous stint with the franchise came to an end after seven seasons when Delhi released him ahead of the 2025 auction.
The India batter entered the auction with a base price of Rs 75 lakh but found no takers when his name first came up.
After a quiet first innings, where he managed just eight runs, Shaw produced a scintillating counterattack in the second, reaching his double ton off just 141 balls in Maharashtra’s Elite Group B clash against Chandigarh at the Sector 16 Stadium.
The Maharashtra Cricket Association confirmed the move in an official statement, welcoming the former U19 World Cup-winning captain to the state side, where he will feature alongside the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rahul Tripathi.
Shaw, who stormed into international cricket with a century on debut in 2018 as a teenager, however, faded away after the initial promise due to poor fitness and lack of discipline.
Prithvi Shaw managed just five runs in his previous match. He was dismissed while trying a big shot off Mohammed Shami in the previous match.
The former Under-19 World Cup winning captain Prithivi Shaw also believes that the upcoming edition of the IPL will be one of the toughest tournaments.
Shaw hailed the influence on the 'Master Blaster', who according to the youngster's own admission, has always been there for him whenever he has found himself going through rough times.
Tiwary recently led Bengal to the finals of the Ranji Trophy and scored his maiden triple hundred in first-class cricket.
Two senior army officials along with three other security personnel were killed in an encounter in Handwara when they went to rescue civilians who had been taken hostage by the terrorists.
