“I hope Prithvi Shaw makes 400 in Tests soon” – Twitter erupts after Prithvi Shaw scored 379 off 383 balls in Ranji Trophy

Prithvi Shaw etched his name into the record books after he showcased his class and fortitude by essaying a triple century off 326 deliveries against the Assam cricket team in the ongoing Ranji Trophy tournament.

Ever since he fell out of favour with the selectors, Prithvi Shaw has been constantly chipping in with impressive performances now and then. Shaw has well and truly picked up lessons and upgraded his batting to the next level.

Having created good impressions with the bat of late, it is very much certain that the selectors might as well open the door for Prithvi Shaw anytime soon. It will be quite interesting to see if he makes the cut into the Indian squad this year.
