New Delhi: The bat of star opener Prithvi Shaw, who is currently out of Team India, has once again made a historical record by scoring a lot of runs. 23-year-old Prithvi Shaw has also given a befitting reply to the selectors of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) with his innings. Prithvi Shaw has made a big record in the Ranji Trophy 2022-23 season. Actually, playing for Mumbai, Prithvi Shaw played an excellent inning of 379 runs in the match against Assam.
This match is being played at Amingaon Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. However, Prithvi Shaw missed out on the historic figure of 400 runs. Riyan Parag of Assam sent him to the pavilion. With this, Prithvi Shaw has become the second-highest scorer in the history of Indian first-class cricket and Ranji. He has broken the record of Sanjay Manjrekar, who scored 377 against Hyderabad for Mumbai (then Bombay) in 1991. Let us tell you that in the history of first-class and Ranji, the record of scoring 400 runs has been made only once.
This record is registered in the name of Bibi Nimbalkar of Maharashtra itself. He scored an unbeaten 443 against Kathiawar while playing for Maharashtra in the 1948 season.
