Prithvi Shaw slammed his maiden First-Class triple hundred on Wednesday against Assam in the Ranji Trophy match at the Amingaon Cricket Ground in Guwahati. The hard-hitting India opener, who has been out of the national side for quite some time, continued from his overnight score of 240 and completed his maiden triple century on Day 2 of the Mumbai vs Assam match.

Shaw has now become the eighth Mumbai batter to reach the three-figure landmark. The 23-year-old’s previous best score was 202.

The triple hundred will further strengthen the former India U-19 captain’s case for a comeback to Team India. Shaw last played for India in a T20I in July 2021 against Sri Lanka which was also his international debut in the format. And despite his recent good form in domestic cricket, the opener has not found a place in any of the Team India squads.

Nonetheless, Shaw earned a lot of praise on Twitter after scoring the triple hundred.

Meanwhile, Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane have also completed his century. Both batters are not out as Mumbai look to pile up a mammoth score having already crossed the 500-run mark.
