Prithvi Shaw’s Stunning Comeback
Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw has made a powerful comeback in the Ranji Trophy with an unbelievable performance. Known for his ups and downs—being dropped from the team, fitness issues, and controversies—Shaw has now created a world record with his bat.
200 Runs in Just 141 Balls
Playing for Maharashtra, Prithvi Shaw scored a double century (200 runs) against Chandigarh. He reached his first century in only 72 balls, smashing 13 fours, and later went on to complete his double hundred in just 141 balls.
That means after his century, he needed only 69 more balls to turn it into a double hundred — a remarkable achievement in Ranji Trophy history.
