Prithvi Shaw, once considered the future star of Team India, is once again in the headlines. He was struggling continuously for the last few months. He neither got a place in IPL nor a way to return to Team India. Now in Ranji Trophy 2025, he has created such a storm with his bat that even the critics have been stunned.
New beginning from Maharashtra
After being released from Delhi Capitals, no team bought Prithvi Shaw in the IPL 2025 auction. Along with this, the home team Mumbai also did not give him a chance. In such a situation, he decided to play for Maharashtra and this decision could prove to be a turning point in his career.
In the Ranji Trophy match against Chandigarh, Prithvi Shaw scored a century in just 72 balls in the second innings. During this period his strike rate was more than 143. Shaw’s innings included 18 fours and 1 six. He is not out after scoring 117 runs and is completely dominating the opposition bowlers.
Happiness of century came after 20 months
Prithvi Shaw has scored a century in first class cricket after almost 20 months. Earlier, he had scored a century for Mumbai in February 2024. Last week he had a disappointing start against Kerala. Shaw was out for zero in the first innings. After this, Shaw showed everyone that he was not finished yet by scoring a half-century and now a explosive century.
Sixth fastest century in Ranji history
By scoring a century in just 72 balls, Prithvi Shaw has made the record of the sixth fastest century in the history of Ranji Trophy. This is a glimpse of his aggressive game.
A look at international career
Prithvi Shaw has played 5 Tests, 6 ODIs and 1 T20 match for India. His only international century came in his Test debut against West Indies. After this, continuous form and fitness problems affected his career.
