It was Prithvi Shaw’s day in Guwahati on Wednesday. Yet again, after his Tuesday’s double century against Assam in Mumbai’s Group ‘B’ Ranji Trophy game. Shaw went on to slam 379 to become the second highest individual scorer in the national championship. Thus, Shaw took fellow Mumbaikar Sanjay Manjrekar’s (377 v Hyderabad in 1990-91) place in the list headed by Maharashtra’s Bhausaheb Nimbalkar, who scored 443 against Kathiawar in 1948-49. Thanks to Shaw and skipper Ajinkya Rahane (191) Mumbai were in the driver’s seat at the Amingaon Cricket Ground. The visitors amassed 687-4 declared and had the hosts 129-1 at stumps on the second day.

Was that out?

Shaw, who smashed 49 fours and four sixes during his 383-ball stay at the wicket, was on the verge of 400 before being declared LBW off leg-spinner Riyan Parag. If the Decision Review System (DRS) was used in domestic games, Shaw would have survived because the ball was going down the leg side.
