The
Mumbai
batter
scored
379
runs
in
just
383
balls,
becoming
the
highest-scoring
batter
for
Mumbai
in
the
Ranji
Trophy.
The
23-year-old
batter
dominated
the
Assam
bowling
and
stitched
a
mammoth
401-run
partnership
with
his
captain
Ajinkya
Rahane,
who
himself
scored
191
runs.
“It
feels
really
nice
to
bat
with
a
player
of
his
(Rahane’s)
stature.
Someone
with
so
much
of
international
experience.
His
mere
presence
around
this
Mumbai
side
lifts
us
up.
I
always
try
and
learn
when
an
international
player
comes
and
plays
with
us,”
Shaw
said.
The
player
looked
destined
to
get
a
400,
but
was
departed
for
379
in
the
bowling
of
Riyan
Parag.
He
missed
out
on
former
Maharashtra
player
Bhausaheb
Nimbalkar’s
443
against
Kathiawar
in
Pune
back
in
1948-49,
which
is
the
highest
Ranji
individual
score
till
date.
But
Prithvi
has
etched
his
name
in
the
history
books,
becoming
the
eighth
player
for
Mumbai
to
score
a
triple
hundred
in
Ranji
Trophy.
Shaw
in
action
for
India
in
an
ODI
First-Ever
Triple
Hundred
for
Mumbai:
The
great
Vijay
Merchant
scored
the
first-ever
triple
hundred
for
Mumbai
in
Ranji
Trophy
back
in
the
1943-44
season,
when
he
scored
an
unbeaten
359
against
Maharashtra.
Prithvi
Topple
Sanjay
Manjrekar:
Before
Prithvi
Shaw’s

Sanjay
Manjrekar’s
377
against
Hyderabad
was
the
highest
score
by
a
Mumbai
batter
at
the
domestic
level.
With
his
outstanding
inning,
Prithvi
has
joined
some
monumental
names
who
have
all
scored
300+
runs
for
Mumbai.
Here
is
the
Full
List-

The
player
has
been
denied
an
India
call-up
since
2020
despite
some
outstanding
displays
with
the
bat.
Although
his
chances
are
yet
to
come
for
an
extended
run
in
the
Indian
team,
if
he
continues
the
form,
the
player
can
be
assured
of
opportunities
to
arrive
in
the
coming
days.
Thank
you
so
much@JayShah
sir.
Your
words
of
encouragement
means
a
lot.
Will
keep
working
hard.https://t.co/RoDw5FbUEV
