[WATCH] Prithvi Shaw Involved in Heated Exchange With Former Mumbai Teammates After 181 Knock in Warm-Up Game Before Ranji Trophy

Drama unfolded during the warm-up fixture between Maharashtra and Mumbai in Pune after Prithvi Shaw was dismissed in the 74th over. As he got out, his former teammates started celebrating aggressively, and one of them might have said something, even though it’s unclear what transpired.

However, Shaw was immediately riled up and was involved in an altercation with Mumbai players, who clearly weren’t going to back down. After a brief spat, the on-field umpires made a timely intervention to avoid the matter from escalating and asked Shaw to return to the pavilion.

As he was going back, Siddhesh Lad again had an extended argument, with Shaw gesturing something with his finger, probably telling that the bowler Musheer Khan initiated the altercation. Eventually, Shaw returned, but some ugly scenes were unleashed on the ground, which can happen in the heat of the moment.

It’s unclear what led to Shaw’s frustration, but he was clearly unhappy with what Mumbai players did and said to him after taking his wicket. It’s worth noting that he has previously played with them for several years and knows most of them quite well in person.

Shaw scored 181 runs in just 220 deliveries, comprising 21 boundaries and three maximums, against a strong Mumbai outfit. He completed his century in just 140 balls and kept tormenting Mumbai bowlers with his sublime strokeplay on a nice batting surface.

He formed a massive 305-run opening partnership with Arshin Kulkarni to push the opponent on the back foot right away. Their stand ensured Maharashtra were well in control, even after Kulkarni and Shaw were dismissed in the 50th and 74th over, respectively.

This knock will help him take the confidence into the Ranji Trophy 2025/26, which begins next week, as he looks to continue his redemption and show why he was always touted as a big thing. Shaw can’t afford to lose his form now and must make the most of this fresh peak in his career after a few struggling years on and off the field.
