Fans on Twitter praised young Indian batter, Prithvi Shaw, for smashing a fiery century for Mumbai in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022 against Assam. They lashed out at the BCCI selectors for wasting such talent and raised calls to include him in the Indian team.
Prithvi Shaw smashes a 46-ball century against Assam in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
Mumbai skipper Prithvi Shaw has set the stage on fire in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022. The young opener has been taking his team off the flyer and has been scoring runs quickly at the top of the order.
In the game against Assam on Friday (14th October), Shaw took his game to another level as he was unfazed by the wickets at the other end. He continued his carnage on the bowlers and smashed them all over the park to bring his half-century in just 19 balls.
However, if this was not enough he continued batting in a similar fashion and then hammered a 46-ball century. Shaw ended with a score of 134 runs in just 61 balls. His innings were laced with 13 fours and 9 sixes as he played with a whopping strike rate of 219.67.
Shaw’s dominating innings of 134 helped Mumbai post a mammoth total of 230/7. Notably, this was his first century in the format and he celebrated animatedly.
Twitterati lauds Prithvi Shaw for smashing a quickfire ton in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
Prithvi Shaw has been on the sidelines of the Indian team. Despite scoring runs in the IPL and domestic circuit, he has failed to make a cut into the national side. Fans on Twitter lauded him and also criticised BCCI for not giving him the opportunity in the Indian side. Here are some of the reactions:

Credit where due,Ganguly recognized a gem in Sehwag, made him open, backed him to hilt and gave us a guy who believed there's only one way to play the game!
And then there's Prithvi Shaw!
Difficult people with abundance of talent just need better handling! https://t.co/82w5UepIWx

Everyone knows that Prithvi Shaw should have been playing ahead of Shubman Gill as opener in ODIs. But how does this management doesn't understand this?
It's not that Gill isn't good but Shaw is better.— P (@ItzzzPraveen) October 14, 2022
