In his very first innings for Maharashtra, the right-hander smashed a century off just 122 balls against Chhattisgarh on Tuesday, August 19, in Chennai. He brought up his ton with a single on the fourth ball of the 45th over. The celebration from Prithvi Shaw was rather subdued as he raised his bat and shared a light hug with his batting partner Siddharth Mhatre.

He was eventually dismissed on 111 off 141 balls by Shubham Agarwal with the team's total on 166/5.
