Twitter Cherishes as Prithvi Shaw Scores a Quickfire Century Against Railways

The 19-year old prodigy batsman Prithvi Shaw has continued to impress. Shaw scored his second List A century as he brought his hundred in just 61 balls. Thus, Shaw provided a fine start to the Mumbai team in the ongoing fixture against Railways in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Shaw scored a brilliant 129 off just 81 balls as he smashed 14 boundaries and a half a dozen maximums in his blistering knock.

In fact, this was Shaw’s third score of more than fifty runs in the ongoing tourney. Meanwhile, Shaw has had a fine start to his young career. The flamboyant right-hander had scored seven hundreds in his List A career. Thus, Shaw has shown the right promise to be the future of Indian cricket.

Prithvi Shaw has shown the promise to be the future of Indian cricket.

Shaw had also received a maiden Test call-up to the Indian squad for the final two Test matches against England. However, he could make the cut into the playing XI. Nevertheless, there is no denying the fact that it would have been a learning experience for Shaw to spend some time in the Indian dressing room.

Shaw had also led India Under-19 team to glory in the World Cup earlier in the year hosted by New Zealand. India had defeated Australia in the final of the tournament. In fact, Indian colts had dominated almost all their matches.

Prithvi Shaw had scored a truckload of runs in his maiden domestic season. He went on to score a hundred on debut in the Ranji Trophy as well as the Duleep Trophy. Thus, Shaw had had a fine start to his promising career.

On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer is also batting on 97 runs off just 95 balls. However, Mumbai’s captain Ajinkya Rahane could only score three runs. In fact, Rahane had scored a fine 148 in the last match against Karnataka.

Here is how Twitter reacted to Prithvi Shaw’s blistering innings.

Another 100 by @PrithviShaw Some say he had a flawed technique but no one can deny his prolific run and they way he has achieved it. Very unfortunate not to have replaced Dhawan @ Oval.
