Prithvi Shaw broke a record 379 with just 382 balls – the second-highest individual score in Ranji Trophy’s history – against an unlucky Assam on Wednesday at Amingaon Cricket Ground in Guwahati.
Bhausaheb Nimbalkar, who went 443 unbeaten for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in December 1948, still holds the record for the highest scoring Ranji Cup highest score and first place score of an Indian tennis player. Shaw’s 379 is currently the next best on both lists.

On Wednesday, Shaw became the ninth player to score more than 350 points in a single round of the Ranji Trophy, beating Swapnil Gugale (351*), Cheteshwar Pujara (352), VVS Laxman (353), Samit Gohel (359*) ), MV Sridhar (366) and Manjrekar (377).
However, he missed a rare opportunity to score 400, eventually falling to foot spinner Riyan Parag in the pre-lunch final. It ended a 401-marathon partnership he enjoyed with Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane for a third racket. Shaw’s contribution was 262 in the stands.
He is now an Indian apart from Rohit Sharma and Virender Sehwag having scored a century in T20, two hundred in A-List cricket and 300 in first-class cricket.

Mumbaikar, who scored 13, 6, 19, 4, 68, 35 and 15 in the first four games of Ranji Trophy’s 2022-23 season, has thus returned to form in a monumental fashion. Prithvi played five Tests, six ODIs and one T20I, and last played for India in July 2021, on a white ball tour in Sri Lanka.
