I've never lost, it's always about learning for me: Shaw seeking revival
The New Indian Express Madurai
|August 20, 2025
HAVING shifted from Mumbai to Maharashtra, out of favour India batter Prithvi Shaw notched up a brilliant century (111; 141b; 15x4, 1x6) in his first competitive outing for his new side against Chhattisgarh in the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament held at Guru Nanak College here on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old opener, who shifted from Mumbai earlier this year, brought up his hundred off 122 deliveries, holding firm at one end on a challenging surface that was aiding the spinners from the morning. For Shaw, this century carries a lot of significance as he had been dropped from the Mumbai Ranji squad last season and last played for them in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 in December 2024. After going unsold at the IPL 2025 auction and facing questions over his form and fitness, Shaw decided to move over to Maharashtra to revive his domestic career. "It feels really nice to get a ton, especially because I am playing my first game for Maharashtra. It feels nice obviously. I haven't played a 3-day or 4-day game in a long time. Obviously Chennai is quite hot, but it feels really nice to be on that wicket (Gurunanak college) and trying to score some runs from Maharashtra," Shaw said.
