It was not immediately known if Modi acceded to Jaitley's request.
Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant conceded his side was literally doing catchup all through the match after Sunrisers Hyderabad made a huge 'power play' statement, smashing 125 runs to set an IPL record in Delhi on Saturday.
Jaitley is now a minister without portfolio in the Narendra Modi government.
Jaitley, who was the finance minister before a medical procedure led to the charge being temporarily taken away from him, missed presenting the sixth and final Budget of the Narendra Modi government before the general elections. In his absence, the charge of the ministry was given to Railways Minister Piyush Goyal.
He said the country has witnessed a journey from indecisiveness to clarity and decisiveness.
While Arun Jaitley remains part of the decision making process, Piyush Goyal, who was given additional charge on May 14, attends cabinet meetings and takes the day-to-day decisions.
Union ministers Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Thaawarchand Gehlot, Ravi Shankar Prasad and Santosh Gangwar, Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, BJP national general-secretary Arun Singh and party MP Maneka Gandhi also visited the hospital to know about his wellbeing.
Shaw was retained by the Capitals ahead of the season and didn't feature in the first two games. In his first game of IPL 2024, he struck a quick 43 off 27 balls against Chennai Super Kings.

In the four-paragraph letter, Jaitley said he had orally informed Modi about his desire not to be a part of the new BJP government to enable him to concentrate on treatment and health.
Rishabh Pant will miss Sunday's crucial match against RCB after he was handed a one-match suspension for maintaining a slow over-rate.
A future road map could be to work towards a single standard rate instead of two standard rates of 12 per cent and 18 per cent, he said.
The HC said if such remarks were made on instructions of Kejriwal, then he should 'first step into the box'.
Rasikh Salam Dar emerged as Delhi Capitals' hero with the ball, with excellent figures of 3/34.
It is unclear if he would be renamed the finance minister soon after his return.
The minister said demonetisation has increased the tax return filings and also increased the revenue of the states and the Centre immensely.
The rumours have primarily been about the impending resignation of JD-U national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh 'Lalan', for alleged proximity towards ally Rashtriya Janaat Dal at the expense of loyalty to his own party.
Jaitley said the CAG report has reference to the shortage of ammunition in relation to a point of time.
In a Facebook post on the second anniversary of demonetisation, Jaitley said in first four years of the National Democratic Alliance government, the number of income tax returns filers has gone up to 6.86 crore from 3.8 crore in May 2014.
The finance minister continues to be backed by the same policy team in charting out the broad strategy as in the few earlier Budgets.

Jaitley in his Facebook post titled: 'Who killed the Sohrabuddin Investigation' said that those who have recently shown a belated concern for institutional independence, "should seriously introspect as to what they did to the CBI when they were in power."
This is Jaitley's first overseas visit since his kidney ailment was confirmed in April last year.
The finance minister said unlike Hitler, Gandhi went a step ahead by endeavouring to transform India into "dynastic democracy".

Going by the number of changes Mr Jaitley's next Budget is likely to see, he will go down in the history of Budget-making as the finance minister who ushered in the largest number of changes in a single Budget, says A K Bhattacharya.
The minister further said that those who "peddle falsehood to destroy the institution are not dealt with in an exemplary manner, this trend will only accelerate."
