Mumbai opener Prithvi Shaw unleashed a rapid 159-run thunder on Day 1 of their Ranji Trophy 2024 Elite Group B clash against Chhattisgarh in Raipur. Returning to competitive cricket after recovering from a knee injury, the dashing opening batsman pounded 18 boundaries and three sixes in his 185-ball knock. He formed a 244-run first-wicket partnership with fellow centurion Bhupen Lalwani.

While Shaw made a strong case for himself for a potential return to Team India's Test setup, he also pretty much confirmed his availability for the Delhi Capitals franchise in the upcoming IPL 2024 season, thus ending weeks of injury speculations.


Prithvi Shaw tons century on Ranji Trophy return

Prithvi Shaw made his return to competitive cricket through the Ranji Trophy 2024 season for Mumbai earlier in February. While the 24-year-old managed to score just 35 against Bengal at the Eden Gardens after recovering from a knee injury, he listed a dazzling 159 against Chhattisgarh in his following outing at Raipur.

The Team India discard faced just 185 deliveries in his innings and belted 18 of them for boundaries and three for sixes.

Unfortunately for Mumbai, Prithvi Shaw's dismissal at 159 triggered a colossal batting collapse in their ranks as they slipped from 244-0 to 351 all out by the second morning.

As of now, Shaw is slated to turn up for the Delhi Capitals franchise in the upcoming IPL 2024 season. The youngster was retained by the Capitals management back in November 2023. The much-awaited IPL 2024 is expected to commence sometime in late March.
