Northamptonshire‘s star batter Prithvi Shaw set the cricketing world ablaze with a jaw-dropping double century during a scintillating performance in the ongoing England Domestic One-Day Cup. The explosive Indian batter, making only his third appearance in the UK domestic circuit, hammered an astonishing 244 runs off just 153 balls against Somerset.
Shaw’s innings was nothing short of a cricketing masterclass. After reaching his century, Shaw shifted into overdrive, taking only 22 balls to surge from 100 to an incredible 150. His impeccable timing, powerful strokes, and remarkable shot selection left Somerset’s bowling attack reeling. Shaw’s knock featured a staggering 25 boundaries and 8 towering sixes, leaving the crowd at the County Ground in Northampton in raptures.
Shaw’s rampage continued unabated as the match entered its final phase. Displaying extraordinary fitness and skill, he relentlessly attacked Somerset’s bowlers during the last 10 overs, propelling Northamptonshire to an imposing total of 415/8 in their allotted 50 overs. Shaw’s ability to accelerate and dominate even in the face of mounting pressure highlighted his maturity as a batter beyond his years.

Shaw’s presence in the England Domestic One-Day Cup has injected a fresh dynamic into the tournament. Having committed to representing Northamptonshire in both the County Championship and the One-Day Cup, Shaw joined the ranks of other prominent Indian cricketers participating in the 2022-23 UK domestic season, including Cheteshwar Pujara (Sussex), Ajinkya Rahane (Leicestershire), Arshdeep Singh (Kent), and Navdeep Saini (Worcestershire).
Although Shaw’s journey in the England Domestic One-Day Cup has been a tale of contrasting fortunes. In his debut match against Gloucestershire, Shaw’s promising innings of 34 runs off 35 balls showcased his skill and determination. But, his dismissal, marked by accidentally kicking his own stumps while attempting a shot, drew attention for its unusual nature. Undeterred by the setback, Shaw quickly bounced back, proving his mettle and setting the stage for his remarkable double century.

Prithvi Shaw scored a double hundred
Another reason why he should come to Mumbai Indians and play with the owner of double hundred club Rohit Sharma.
