The fresh Instagram story adds to the speculation
Akriti’s latest Instagram story simply read “Misunderstood by many!” The brief message came after a screenshot of an alleged previous Story circulated widely on social media, with many users interpreting it as a reference to Shaw.
The viral screenshot, which is no longer visible on Agarwal’s Instagram account, said: “I cheated so many times, but I never said a word. I still can’t believe that after taking a step forward.”Also read: “Everything is true, every rumor is true. What you see on social media about him.”The post did not mention Shaw or any other individual by name. It is unclear whether the Story was deleted by Agarwal or disappeared after Instagram’s standard 24-hour expiration period.The cryptic nature of the two posts prompted widespread speculation across social media, with many fans linking the remarks to the cricketer. However, there was no confirmation that any messages were directed at Shaw.
No official response from the couple
Despite the intense discussion online, neither Agarwal nor Shaw have addressed the rumors surrounding their relationship.And the two continue to follow each other on Instagram, and neither has deleted photos or posts related to their engagement, further adding to the uncertainty surrounding the speculation.The couple announced their engagement in March when Shaw shared a series of photos with Agarwal on social media.“From hitting sixes in the field to playing the perfect innings for life, she is my perfect innings,” Shaw had written, with the announcement drawing congratulatory messages from fans and fellow cricketers.
Shaw focused on the comeback of cricket
While his personal life has dominated the headlines in recent days, Shaw continues to focus on reviving his cricket career.Once regarded as one of India’s brightest batting prospects after captaining the country to the Under-19 World Cup title in 2018 and scoring a century on his Test debut later that year, Shaw has endured a difficult period marked by inconsistent form and fitness concerns.Although he was part of the Delhi Capitals team during IPL 2026, he did not appear in a single match.Recently speaking about his ambitions, Shaw made it clear that representing India again remains his ultimate goal.“If I don’t think about a comeback, then what’s the point? That’s why I’m playing. Who doesn’t want to play for India? You have to be there, and I’m working for that,” he said.
