Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw, along with his fiancee Akriti Agarwal, offered prayers at the Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain. The newly engaged pair sought blessings at the morning Bhasm Aarti.

"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." Shaw said to ANI while speaking outside the temple.

Shaw also talked about the recently concluded T20 World Cup, where Team India won a record third title. The Indian batter was optimistic that many more World Cups would follow after India's commanding win.

"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 added.

Shaw and Akriti Agarwal, his long-time girlfriend, recently got engaged. Shaw posted a few photos from the event on Instagram on Sunday to share the good news with his friends and followers.

"From sixes on the field to a lifetime of hits off it. She's is my perfect innings!" Prithvi Shaw wrote under the post.
