Prithvi Shaw played a blistering knock of 244 against Somerset

In his 153-ball innings, the youngster smashed 11 sixes and 28 fours to propel the Northants to a massive 415 in 50 overs. Shaw displayed incredible acceleration as he completed his fifty off 44 deliveries, his 100 off 80 balls, and his 200 off just 129 deliveries. Only in the innings' last over he was dismissed.

Prithvi Shaw stated after the game that his primary goal was to take pleasure in his time with the group. After the match, he expressed his thoughts on where he stands. (reported on the official website for Northamptonshire)

"Definitely experience for sure. Not really thinking what the Indian selectors may be thinking, but I just want to have a good time here, have a good time with the players over here and the support staff. Northamptonshire have given me this opportunity... They're really looking after me. I'm really enjoying it."

Not after records

The Mumbai-born cricketer revealed telling teammate Sam Whiteman about his previous List A best of 227, but asserted that he doesn't go behind records

The 227 was in my head to be honest. I spoke to Whitey [Whiteman] when he was there and I told him it's 227, my highest score. But it was a good team effort all around. I always try and win matches for the team and I'm the kind of a player who puts my team first and then myself. If scoring like this can help my team to win, then I should continue this.

Shaw's 2023 Indian Premier League campaign was a forgettable one as he scored just 106 runs in eight games for the Delhi Capitals at a dismal average of 13.25.
