6,6,6,6… Prithvi Shaw wreaks havoc with the bat, plays a blistering innings in 26 balls
New Delhi: Prithvi Shaw, who has been facing failure for a long time, has finally seen success. This right-handed opening batsman played a stormy innings against Vidarbha in the quarter-finals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Shaw scored 49 runs in just 26 balls. Even though Shaw missed the half-century, this player’s innings was worth watching. Prithvi scored 44 out of 50 runs with sixes and fours. 5 fours and 4 sixes came off his bat. Shaw’s innings was special because he shared an 83-run partnership with Rahane in 7 overs.
Mumbai got a target of 222 runs:
Prithvi Shaw always bats explosively but it was desperately needed against Vidarbha. Vidarbha had scored 221 runs while batting first. Atharva Taide scored 66 and Wankhede scored 51 runs. In the end, Shubham Dubey gave a big target to Mumbai by scoring an unbeaten 43 runs in just 19 balls. But Shaw and Rahane gave Mumbai a fast start. Prithvi Shaw could have completed his half-century by taking a single if he wanted but this player got out while playing for the team.
Prithvi Shaw played a good innings after a long time:
Prithvi Shaw has been in bad form for a long time. He could not even score a half-century in the entire Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy but he played a good innings in the quarter-finals. Talking about the tournament, he has scored 179 runs in 7 matches at an average of 25.57. It is expected that Prithvi Shaw plays big innings in the upcoming matches so that his name can be as famous as before. This year has not been good for Prithvi Shaw at all. He is out of Team India but along with this, no one bought him in the IPL auction, whereas his base price was only 75 lakhs.
Surya-Iyer failed:
Prithvi Shaw played a good innings, Rahane also scored a half-century but Mumbai captain Shreyas Iyer and experienced batsman Suryakumar Yadav failed in the quarter-finals. Iyer scored 5 runs and Surya scored 9 runs.
