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.

Most International Centuries: Indian cricket team’s hitman Rohit Sharma has once again created history with his bat. In the third and last ODI against Australia in Sydney, Rohit not only gave a respectable victory to Team India by scoring a brilliant century, but also completed his 50th century in international cricket. With this, he left behind Australia’s legendary batsman David Warner and made a place in the record book.

Rohit played an unbeaten inning of 121 runs in 125 balls, which included 13 fours and 3 sixes. This was the 33rd century of his ODI career and 50th century in all three formats combined. With this achievement, he has joined the special club of Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, who have 50 or more international centuries in their names.
