The shock also included the wickets of Ruturaj Gaikwad and captain Ankit Bawne. The team was in crisis, but Shaw, along with Siddharth Mhatre, shared a 57 -run innings.
Shaw left Mumbai and joined Maharashtra
25 -year -old Prithvi Shaw left Mumbai earlier this year and moved to Maharashtra. The last season was not good for him. Neither he got a place in Mumbai’s Ranji team, nor in Vijay Hazare Trophy. He was also unsold in the IPL 2024 and 2025 auctions.
However, Shaw was part of the team winning the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy of Mumbai, but only 197 runs in 9 matches. In such a situation, the selection of Maharashtra is like a new beginning for him.
Shaw says that being a part of Maharashtra team will be beneficial for his cricket career. He said that the facilities here and playing with the players will make his game better.
