In his second game for Maharashtra, Prithvi Shaw cracked the sixth-fastest Ranji Trophy hundred in 72 balls. (X/BCCI Domestic)
Out-of-favour India opener Prithvi Shaw made a roaring return to form as he cracked his maiden Ranji Trophy hundred in only balls for Maharashtra in his second outing on Monday, facing Chandigarh at the Cricket Stadium, Sector-16 in Chandigarh.
Falling for only eight in the first innings, Shaw turned out with his characteristic flair after Maharashtra had secured a 104-run first-innings lead. On Day 3 morning, Shaw waltzed to his first century of the domestic season in only 72 balls on the back of 13 fours, making it the sixth-fastest century in Ranji Trophy history.
