Discarded India Opener Prithvi Shaw Stages Comeback with Dominant Ton

Prithvi Shaw, the discarded India opener, has made a bold statement ahead of the 2025-26 domestic season with a scintillating century against his former team, Mumbai, in a warm-up fixture. The 25-year-old, who had moved to Maharashtra from Mumbai, reached his 100-run mark off just 140 balls, putting on a 305-run opening partnership with Arshin Kulkarni before the partnership was finally broken.

Shaw, who last played for India in 2021, is now aiming to make a comeback to the national team. His impressive performance in the warm-up match, where he scored 186 runs, has certainly caught the attention of selectors and fans alike. The right-hander looked assured against both pace and spin, showcasing his talent and determination to regain his place in the Indian team.

Maharashtra will kick off their Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season on October 15 against Kerala, and Shaw's form will be crucial to their success. With his recent heroics, the discarded opener has sent a strong message to the selectors, and he will be hoping to continue his impressive run in the upcoming domestic season.
