Prithvi Shaw
Prithvi Shaw smashed a sparkling century in his second comeback innings for Mumbai to put them on top against Chhattisgarh in their Ranji Trophy Group B fixture here on Friday. The 24-year-old, who captained the 2018 U-19 World Cup-winning team, struck 18 boundaries and three sixes in his knock of 159 off 185 deliveries. The opener reached three-figures before lunch and in the process became the first Indian to score two centuries in the opening session on Day One of a first-class cricket match.
His Friday partnership with Bhupen Lalwani produced a massive opening stand of 244 runs, with the latter contributing 102 runs off 238 balls as the 41-times Ranji champions ended the day at 310-4. With four wins and one loss from five matches, Mumbai lead the Group B standings, five points clear of Andhra. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane departed for one, bowled by Ashish Chouhan. It will be up to Suryansh Shegde (17) and wicketkeeper Hardik Tamore (1) to boost the Mumbai total to challenge the hosts further.
