Prithvi Shaw set a career high in top-flight cricket (240 balls instead of 283) on the opening day of Assam’s match at the Ranji Trophy vs. Guwahati in Mumbai.
The opener he hit 4 and 6 for 33 and in Musheer Khan’s first wicket he added 123 runs and an unbeaten 192 in Ajinkya Rahane as Mumbai stumbled on his two-for-389. Shaw was tough on Roshan Alam, hitting a left-arm spinner and on a run-a-ball he tallied 76 carries.
This was his first 100 of his trophies for the show this season. He came out on just 160 carries in the previous seven innings, averaging 22.85 and a best of 68. Shaw has been dropped from various Indian teams in recent months. The 23-year-old last played for India in his T20I in July 2021 and was not selected despite consistent results at home. He was his second highest run-getter in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy this season with 332 runs, strikes his rate of 181.42 and a best 134 against Assam. He had a mediocre Vijay Hazareth Trophy, scoring 217 runs in seven innings, but averaging over 50 in List A cricket.
Shaw recently gained the endorsement of former Indian batter Gautam Gambir, who has put coaches and selectors in charge of guiding him and keeping his plans in line. “Players like Prithvi Shaw, the kind of guy he started his international career with, the kind of talent he has, supporting talented players.” Upbringing should also be looked at where he came from, what difficulties he has faced, etc. It makes even more sense for management and selectors to keep him in the mix and help him get on the right track. I’m here.
“I know how destructive he can be if he’s willing to put in the hard work. If he can keep winning games for you, it’s the manager, the management, the head coach. , everyone should do, even if they are the chairman of the selection.
