Out-of-favour India opener hasn't had his day in the sun in his cricket career, in the past few years. He has been out of the national team for a considerable period of time, no IPL team selected him in the 2025 auction, and now, he was forced to switch from Mumbai to Maharashtra in search of more opportunities. But all that toil may be behind him soon, or at least the journey has surely begun. Turning out for Maharashtra, for the first time in the Buchi Babu Trophy, the young batter continued on to score a quick 100 against Chhattisgarh on Monday. Aside from the century, he rescued the team from trouble, when they were struggling at 86/4. Prithvi Shaw's knock comprised 14 fours and one six, and thrashed the rival bowlers round the park. The 25-year-old's strength was the fact that, all the other batsmen couldn't even make it to 20. Meanwhile, Sachin Dhas, Siddhesh Veer, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ankeet Bawne were sent packing cheaply. Here is what Shaw said: , "At this point in my career, I feel that playing for the Maharashtra team will aid me in further growth as a cricketer. "I am very thankful to the Mumbai Cricket Association for the opportunities and camaraderie I have had over the years."

In them he has scored 339, and 189 runs, respectively. His most recent international match was played in 2021 when he played a T20 against Sri Lanka on July 25. Shaw’s impressive century on Maharashtra debut signals a potential revival in his career. With his aggressive strokeplay and ability to rescue the team under pressure, fans hope this innings marks the beginning of a comeback. If he continues this form, national selectors could soon reconsider him for India’s side.
