England One-Day Cup: WATCH - Prithvi Shaw Scripts History With Dashing Double Ton

Prithvi Shaw had a forgetful IPL season this year. Playing for Delhi Capitals (DC), the right-handed batsman got out for poor scores in the first few games of IPL 2023. Due to his batting failures, he was also dropped from the playing XI later. However, the 23-year-old has silenced his critics with his impeccable knock in England One-Day Cup.
