Prithvi Shaw has left a strong impact in a debut match for Maharashtra. He has scored a century in the match against Chhattisgarh in the Buchi Babu tournament. In the match played in Chennai on Tuesday, August 19, Shaw completed his century in 122 balls. His century raised the Maharashtra team from trouble because his team lost 4 wickets within just 16 runs after a good start. In this difficult situation, Prithvi Shaw held one end and scored a strong century.

Prithvi Shaw was dropped by the Mumbai team last year due to poor fitness. After the drop, he demanded a no-objection certificate (NOC) by the Mumbai Cricket Association, which was also accepted. Especially due to poor fitness and increasing obesity, Prithvi Shaw was severely criticized, but he has given a befitting reply to his critics by scoring a century.

Maharashtra lost four wickets at a score of just 86 runs at one time. Therefore, the influence of Prithvi Shaw’s century was doubled, because he raised his team from the situation of crisis after falling four wickets. Shaw hit 14 fours and a six in his innings and scored all the runs in the field.

Sachin Das, Siddhesh Veer, Rituraj Gaikwad and Ankit Bawne were out early. Where it was difficult for other batsmen to reach a score of 20, Prithvi Shaw faced the bowlers firmly.

Prithvi Shaw last played a cricket match for India in 2021. He scored 339 runs in 5 Tests, including one century and 2 fifty. Apart from this, he has 189 runs in 6 ODIs.
