Mumbai Wonder Boy Prithvi Shaw Hits 546
Mumbai wonder-boy Prithvi Shaw, slammed a record 546 against St. Francis D’Assisi in a Harris Shield match. He has already made a reputation for himself as a run machine.
His innings of 546 came in 367 minutes and took 330 balls. He scored 85 fours and five sixes on the way to breaking Armaan Jaffer’s previous Harris Shield record of 498.
The record for the highest individual score by an Indian was previously held by Dadabhoy Havewala from the 1933-34 season. Prtihvi’s 546 is the third highest considering all registered scores world wide.
As per available information, AEJ Collins scored 628 not out in a competitive match in England in 1899 and CJ Eady struck 566 in another competitive match in 1901.
Incidentally it was the same Harris Shield that had brought Sachin into prominence in 1988 who made a record 664 with Vinod Kambli. A former English County Cricketer Julian Wood, was the first to identify the boys talent.
