Prithvi Shaw became the highest individual scorer for Mumbai in Ranji Trophy history after he scored 379 on Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy match against Assam in Guwahati. Sanjay Manjrekar had the record of the highest individual score (377) against Hyderabad in 1990-91 season. The opening batsman served a timely reminder to the national selectors with a triple century in the domestic cricket. This was Shaw’s first century in the Ranji Trophy this year. He had only scored 160 runs in his previous seven innings, averaging 22.85 and posting a high score of 68.

Match not telecasted
While Shaw was out in the middle making history, the rest of the country was deprived of his masterful innings as the game wasn’t telecasted. Disney Hotstar currently holds the rights for Ranji Trophy telecast in India, however Mumbai’s game Assam in Guwahati wasn’t telecasted.
Cricket lovers took to Twitter to slam the BCCI for not telecasting the game thus depriving fans of a historic knock by the young sensation Prithvi Shaw.
BCCI के खेल प्रेम का छोटा सा नमूना
BCCI को 5 साल के लिये 48 हज़ार करोड़ रुपये सिर्फ़ IPL के मीडिया राइट्स से मिलेंगे. इसी संस्था का एक खिलाड़ी सवा दिन बल्लेबाज़ी करता है और रणजी ट्रॉफ़ी का दूसरा सबसे बड़ा स्कोर बनाता है और उसकी कवरेज शून्य है. कोई भी वो पारी नहीं देख सकता. +

Many might not know but each ball of every domestic game is already recorded by both state and BCCI video analysts! It won’t be too much of a tough job to get matches streamed on YouTube! But guess what? BCCI isn’t at all interested in domestic cricket, it feels! https://t.co/OLP2MMhYJF

why video is not available for this inning’s? why live streaming is not happening for Ranji session? what is the use of BCCI money if it’s can’t show its own Ranji session?

It’s simply pathetic how @BCCI and @DisneyPlusHS overlook our Team #assam and their Domestic matches, no live telecast, no highlights, nothing at all. Be it Ranji or Vijay Hazare trophy. @himantabiswa hope you will look into sir! @VoiceOfAxom pls RT
