Prithvi Shaw rewrites history books with a triple century in the Ranji Trophy match against Assam

Youn opening batter Prithvi Shaw rewrote the record books with his 379-run performance for Mumbai in their Ranji Trophy encounter against Assam on Wednesday. His score moved him into second place all-time for the greatest individual score in the history of the Ranji Trophy.

In addition to this, the opening batsman went on to become the player who has scored the most runs for Mumbai in a single Ranji Trophy innings in the history of the franchise.

During a contest at the Amingaon Cricket Ground in Guwahati, Shaw accomplished the goal by smashing a dominant maiden triple hundred, scoring 379 runs in 383 balls. The match took place in Guwahati.

Despite the fact that the 23-year-old has been scoring frequently in the domestic circuit, he has not been selected to play for India and will not play for India again in a T20I until July 2021.

After accumulating an unbeaten 443 against Saurashtra in the 1948/49 season of the Ranji Trophy, BB Nimbalkar retains the record for achieving the highest total for a team in the competition. This record was set in 1948.
