In a spectacular turn of events, Prithvi Shaw has once again captured the spotlight, this time with a remarkable century for Mumbai in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2023-24. After battling injuries that kept him out of crucial domestic tournaments, Shaw’s return to form has not only delighted fans but also ignited discussions about his potential inclusion in the upcoming Test matches against England.

Prithvi Shaw’s road to redemption

Shaw’s journey in recent times has been a rollercoaster ride marked by injuries and missed opportunities. Having suffered setbacks that sidelined him from the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy, Shaw was determined to make a strong comeback in the Ranji Trophy. The cricketing world took notice as he showcased his class and resilience, slamming a brilliant century against Chhattisgarh in just 102 balls.

A comeback worth celebrating

Shaw’s century not only marked a personal triumph but also signalled his return to the form that initially earned him accolades in the cricketing world. Fans, who had been eagerly waiting for his resurgence, were quick to congratulate him on social media, expressing joy and admiration for the young batter who has been a promising talent for Indian cricket.

The international drought

Since his last appearance in Test cricket for India back in 2020 against Australia, Shaw has faced challenges in securing a spot in the national side. Despite a promising stint with Northamptonshire in England’s County Championship in 2023, an unfortunate injury cut short his campaign. The cricketing fraternity has been anxiously awaiting Shaw’s return to the international stage, and his recent century has reignited hopes of seeing him don the Indian Test jersey once again.
