Twitter Applauds Prithvi Shaw’s Remarkable Double Century for Northamptonshire in Royal London One-Day Cup

Discarded Indian Cricketer Showcases Spectacular Form with 244-run Blitz, Setting Records and Silencing Doubts

Prithvi Shaw, the Indian batsman who has been out of the national team, showcased his immense talent as he smashed his second double hundred in List A cricket. Playing for Northamptonshire in the Royal London One-Day Cup against Somerset on Wednesday, August 9, Shaw’s blazing innings saw him accumulate a remarkable 244 runs off just 153 balls.

Twitter Applauds Prithvi Shaw's Remarkable Double Century for Northamptonshire in Royal London One-Day Cup

Opening the batting, Shaw’s extraordinary performance contributed significantly to Northamptonshire’s imposing total of 415/8. His innings was characterized by an impressive tally of 28 fours and 11 sixes, all achieved at a remarkable strike rate of almost 160. Despite his exclusion from the national team, Shaw’s dedication to playing various formats of cricket remains evident.

Shaw’s exceptional knock led to the shattering of several records. He became the first player to achieve double centuries in List A cricket for two different teams. Additionally, he secured the distinction of being the inaugural cricketer to notch List A centuries in two distinct countries.

His batting prowess was showcased vividly as he registered his first century in 81 deliveries, followed by another century in just 48 balls. With this extraordinary performance, Shaw has silenced any doubts surrounding his talent and capabilities. As Shaw’s extraordinary innings resonated across social media, Twitter hailed his exceptional talent and impressive feat in the Royal London One-Day Cup.

While Shaw’s off-field behavior and attributes prompted the BCCI to overlook him for national team selection, his commitment to his game on the field has remained steadfast. In domestic Indian cricket, Shaw consistently amasses runs for Mumbai across various tournaments, including the Duleep Trophy, Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy, and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

Despite his prolific domestic performances, Shaw’s international opportunities have been limited. Since his Test debut against West Indies in Rajkot in 2018, where he marked his arrival with a century, he has played only five Tests, six ODIs, and a lone T20I for India. His underwhelming performance in IPL 2023 for Delhi Capitals further added to the reasons for his exclusion, as he managed to score a mere 106 runs at an average of 13.25 in eight matches.
