Mumbai, Feb 25: Prithvi Shaw on Thursday became the highest individual scorer in Vijay Hazare Trophy national 50-over championships after he slammed an unbeaten 227 off just 152 balls to help Mumbai post a mammoth 457/4 against Puducherry.
The 21-year-old Shaw, who has played in five Tests and five ODIs, broke the earlier record of the highest individual score held by Sanju Samson (212 not out against Goa in 2019). It was the first maiden List-A double hundred for Shaw, which he got in 142 balls. Shaw scored 32 fours and five sixes during his innings. He also became the eighth Indian to score a List A double hundred. For the record, the highest List-A score is 268 by Ali Brown.
After Puducherry asked Mumbai to bat first, it did not go down well with the Puducherry team as Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav (133 off 58 balls) toyed with their bowling attack at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
Suryakumar, who came in at No. 4, hammered 22 fours and four sixes. He and Shaw added 201 runs for the third wicket stand and helped Mumbai go past the 400-run mark.
Brief Scores: Mumbai 457/4 in 50 overs (Prithvi Shaw 227 not out, Suryakumar Yadav 133; Pankaj Singh 2/79, S Suresh Kumar 1/22) versus Puducherry.
