Prithvi Shaw, who has been facing failure after failure for a long time, has finally seen the face of success. This right-handed opening batsman played a wonderful stormy innings against Vidarbha in the quarter-finals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Shaw scored 49 runs in just 26 balls. Even though Shaw missed the half-century, this player's innings was worth watching. Prithvi scored 44 runs out of 50 with sixes and fours only. 5 fours and 4 sixes came from his bat. This inning of Shaw was special because he made a partnership of 83 runs with Rahane in 7 overs.
Prithvi Shaw always bats stormily but it was badly needed against Vidarbha. Batting first, Vidarbha had scored 221 runs. Atharva Taide played an inning of 66 runs and Wankhede played an inning of 51 runs. In the end, Shubham Dubey had given a big target to Mumbai by scoring unbeaten 43 runs in just 19 balls. But Shaw and Rahane gave a fast start to Mumbai. If Prithvi Shaw wanted, he could have completed his half-century by taking a single but this player got out while playing for the team.
Prithvi Shaw has been in bad form for a long time. He could not even score a half-century in the entire Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy but he played a good innings in the quarter-finals. Talking about the tournament, he has scored 179 runs in 7 matches at an average of 25.57. It is expected that Prithvi Shaw plays big innings in the coming matches so that his name can remain as before. This year has not been good at all for Prithvi Shaw. Not only is he out of Team India, but at the same time no one bought him in the IPL auction, even though his base price was only Rs 75 lakh.
Prithvi Shaw played a good innings, Rahane also scored a half-century but Mumbai captain Shreyas Iyer and experienced batsman Suryakumar Yadav failed in the quarter-finals. Iyer played an inning of 5 runs and Surya played an inning of 9 runs.
