Prithvi Shaw once again set the cricket field ablaze with his extraordinary batting display in the Ranji Trophy. Playing against Chandigarh, the young batter smashed a record-breaking double century the fastest in the tournament’s history. He reached 200 runs in just 156 balls, hitting 29 fours and 5 sixes, leaving spectators and opponents stunned.
After failing to score in the first innings, Shaw came back in the second with remarkable confidence and aggression. He reached his first hundred in just 72 balls and then powered his way to a double hundred in no time. With this blistering knock, he broke multiple long-standing records surpassing Tanmay Agarwal’s 119-ball double ton and Ravi Shastri’s 123-ball milestone from 1985.
At 25, Shaw, who now represents Maharashtra after moving from Mumbai, reminded everyone of the prodigious talent once hailed as “the next Sachin Tendulkar.” His journey has seen ups and downs injuries, controversies, and inconsistent form but this innings marks a strong comeback and renewed hope for his career.
Thanks to his explosive batting, Maharashtra declared their innings with a massive lead, putting Chandigarh under immense pressure. Fans and former cricketers flooded social media with praise, celebrating Shaw’s return to form.
This record-breaking double hundred is not just a personal milestone but a statement that Prithvi Shaw is back, hungrier and stronger than ever, ready to reclaim his place in Indian cricket.
