On Wednesday, Mumbai opener Prithvi Shaw created history against Assam on Day 2 of the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2022-23 season, when he slammed a magnificent 379. 

Shaw, who is now Mumbai's highest-individual scorer and second-highest in Ranji Trophy history, claimed that he was not out and could have even made 400.

According to India Today, Shaw expressed his displeasure at being out and not scoring a 400 and also spoke about batting with Rahane. 

Here's what Shaw said

"I wasn't out and could have made 400. It feels really nice. I could have made that 400. I think I was batting really well but it was just matter of time as big runs weren't coming. I thought, I should give myself more time out there in the middle, display patience and the track needed that," 

"His mere presence around this Mumbai side lifts us up. I always try and learn when an international player comes and plays with us,"

The out-of-favour India opener was judged leg-before-wicket against Assam's part-time bowler Riyan Parag in the 126th over of Mumbai's first innings. 

Ajinkya Rahane-led Mumbai declared their innings at 687 for 4, with Assam placed at 129 for 1, trailing by 558 runs at the end of play last evening.
