Prithvi Shaw slams second-highest score in Ranji Trophy history

Prithvi Shaw slammed his maiden First-Class triple hundred on Wednesday against Assam in the Ranji Trophy match at the Amingaon Cricket Ground in Guwahati. The hard-hitting India opener, who has been out of the national side for quite some time, continued from his overnight score of 240 and completed his maiden triple century on Day 2 of the Mumbai vs Assam match. The cricketer eventually got out on 379 off 383 balls, the second-highest individual score ever in Ranji Trophy. His innings included 49 fours and four sixes and came at a strike rate of 99. Shaw has now become the eighth Mumbai batter to reach the three-figure landmark. The 23-year-old’s previous best score was 202. He has also become the first player to score a triple ton in Ranji, a double century in the Vijay Hazare trophy and a century in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

The triple hundred will further strengthen the former India U-19 captain’s case for a comeback to Team India. Shaw last played for India in a T20I in July 2021 against Sri Lanka which was also his international debut in the format. And despite his recent good form in domestic cricket, the opener has not found a place in any of the Team India squads. Nonetheless, Shaw earned a lot of praise on Twitter after scoring the triple hundred.

Meanwhile, Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane has also completed his century as Mumbai crossed the 600-run mark. Read all the  Latest News ,  Trending News ,  Cricket News ,  Bollywood News ,  India News  and  Entertainment News  here. Follow us on  Facebook ,  Twitter  and  Instagram .
