A right-handed opener, Shaw made his first international appearance on 4 October 2018 and made a century on his debut, becoming the youngest to achieve both feats. Shaw was the captain of Rizvi Springfield High School cricket team and the Mumbai under-16 team, and he played cricket for the Middle Income Group Cricket Club in Mumbai. He struck 546 in a Harris Shield elite division match in November 2013, the highest total in any organized form of cricket since 1901.

On 1 January 2017 Shaw made his first appearance for Mumbai in the semi-final of the 2016–17 Ranji Trophy, where he scored a century in the second innings and was named man of the match.
