Prithvi Shaw made a stunning statement with the bat on Monday, scoring a blistering 72-ball century — the joint-sixth fastest in Ranji Trophy history. The opener brought up his maiden hundred for Maharashtra, marking a memorable start to his new domestic chapter.
A Maiden Ton for Maharashtra
Shaw joined Maharashtra earlier this year after a successful stint with Mumbai. Facing Chandigarh in Round 2 of the ongoing Ranji Trophy season, the 25-year-old raced to his hundred in no time, setting the tone for a dominant innings.
This was Shaw’s 14th first-class century, and his first since making the switch in the domestic circuit.
A Strong Comeback After a Slow Start
The right-hander had begun the season on a disappointing note, with a duck in the opening game. He followed it up with a composed 75 against Kerala in Thiruvananthapuram, hinting at a return to form. In Chandigarh, after scoring just eight in the first innings, he roared back in style with a knock that underlined his explosive batting prowess.
Sixth Fastest Ton in Ranji History
By reaching his century in just 72 balls, Shaw equaled the joint-sixth fastest hundred ever scored in the prestigious domestic tournament. His aggressive strokeplay lit up the match and reminded everyone why he remains one of the most exciting talents in Indian cricket.
