In a heated exchange during an ongoing warm-up fixture in Pune, Maharashtra opener Prithvi Shaw found himself in a scuffle with his former Mumbai teammates after delivering a stellar batting performance.
**The Incident**
Prithvi Shaw, now playing for Maharashtra, scored a magnificent 181 on Day 1 against his former team, Mumbai. After being dismissed by Mumbai’s Musheer Khan, Shaw reacted angrily and charged towards the bowler with his bat, igniting a heated argument on the field. Reports from *The Times of India* reveal that Shaw had faced intense sledging throughout the match which appeared to fuel his frustration.
Umpires quickly intervened to separate the players as tensions escalated. Shaw was also seen exchanging strong words with his former teammate Siddhesh Lad. This altercation cast a shadow over what had otherwise been an outstanding innings.
**Match Summary**
Shaw’s knock of 181 came off 220 balls, including 21 fours and 3 sixes. He shared a mammoth 305-run opening stand with Arshin Kulkarni, who scored an impressive 186. Maharashtra declared their innings at 465 for 3 after 81 overs. By stumps, Mumbai were 23 for 1 in seven overs.
**Return to Form With Maharashtra**
Earlier this year, Shaw began a promising domestic stint with Maharashtra after parting ways with Mumbai at the end of last season. Shaw was dropped from Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad and last represented the team in December 2024. His move to Maharashtra has revitalized his career; he impressed with a century on debut for the state during the 2025 Buchi Babu Trophy against Chhattisgarh.
**Career Overview**
Prithvi Shaw burst onto the international scene as a teenager in 2018, scoring a century against West Indies on debut. Despite his early promise, he struggled to maintain consistency and last played for India in 2021. His international resume includes five Tests, six ODIs, and one T20I.
In domestic cricket, Shaw has amassed 4,556 runs across 58 First-Class matches at an average exceeding 46. His List A average stands above 55, highlighting his potential and form at the domestic level.
As Shaw continues to make headlines both for his cricketing exploits and recent on-field incident, fans will be keen to see if he can channel his talent and temperament towards a sustained comeback.
