What's the story

Mumbai opening batter Prithvi Shaw smashed his second First-Class double-century in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2022-23 clash against Assam. The right-handed batter unleashed his A-game and played several delightful shots all over the park. He batted with great intent as he reached his double-hundred off just 235 deliveries. Here we look at his sensational stats in First-Class cricket.

Performance

A fiery knock from Shaw

Assam won the toss and elected to bowl first at the Amingaon Cricket Ground in Guwahati. Shaw went after the bowlers from the outset as Mumbai were off to a flier. He completed his hundred off just 107 balls, his 12th FC ton. The dasher later converted the same into a brilliant double-hundred. Shaw stitched century partnerships with Musheer Khan and Ajinkya Rahane.

Form

Shaw shrugged aside his poor run of form 

Prior to this knock, Shaw's scores in the ongoing tournament read 13, 6, 19, 4, 68, 35, and 15. Meanwhile, Mumbai are currently seated at the second spot in the Elite Group B standings, behind Saurashtra. Mumbai, 41-time Ranji winners, beat Andhra and Hyderabad in their first two matches. They lost to Saurashtra by 48 runs before a drawn game against Tamil Nadu.
