Young India opener Prithvi Shaw continued his golden form in the Vijay Hazare Trophy with a record-breaking double century in the Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Puducherry. Shaw slammed unbeaten 227 runs in 152 balls as he registered the highest individual score in Vijay Hazare Trophy history.

It was also the first double century for Shaw in the List A cricket. He became the eighth Indian batsmen to slam a double century in List A cricket and fourth in the Vijay Hazare Trophy history.

Shaw’s scintillating knock was laced by 31 fours and five sixes. He also becomes the second Indian captain to slam a double ton in List A cricket after Virender Sehwag. However, Shaw now holds the record of the highest individual score in List A cricket for a captain.
