Since moving to Maharashtra, Shaw has shown glimpses of his old flair, posting two fifty-plus scores in three innings. He had kicked off with a fighting 111 against Chhattisgarh on a challenging turner, where his teammates combined for just 92 runs.
At the Gojan Cricket Ground ‘B’, Shaw appeared determined to build on that century. Resuming his overnight score of 47 off 57 balls against TNCA President’s XI, Shaw reached his half-century in style with a backfoot punch for three on the very first delivery of the day. He went on to share a crucial 94-run partnership with Harshal Kate, laying a strong foundation for Maharashtra’s reply.
Shaw’s fluent 66 off 96 deliveries, decorated with crisp boundaries and positive intent, once again reminded of his natural attacking instincts. But just as Maharashtra looked comfortable at 155/2, Achyuth C V got him out to trigger a mini-collapse. Kate, who made 62, followed soon after, leaving Maharashtra tottering at 159/4.
For Shaw, the innings further reinforces his comeback trail after a difficult 2024-25 season marred by fitness issues, disciplinary concerns, and the disappointment of going unsold at the IPL auction. With two substantial knocks already in Maharashtra colours, he will be keen to convert promise into consistency as the new season looms.
