New Delhi: Prithvi Shaw reminded everyone of his explosive batting prowess with a double century for his new domestic team, Maharashtra, during their Ranji Trophy clash against Chandigarh. The innings not only marked a sensational return to form but also etched Shaw’s name in the record books as his 141-ball double ton is now the second-fastest in the history of the tournament’s Elite Group stage.

This was only Shaw’s second match for Maharashtra after moving from Mumbai, a switch that already seems to have sparked a revived career.
