Maharashtra Cricket Team vs Mumbai Cricket Team Match Scorecard: Maharashtra batter Prithvi Shaw was involved in a heated exchange with Mumbai players during the first day of a three-day warm-up match at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Tuesday. Maharashtra won the toss and chose to bat first in the practice game ahead of the Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season. Playing against his former team, Shaw struck a brilliant 181 runs from 220 balls. His innings included 21 fours and three sixes, scored at a strike rate of 82. The 25-year-old tried to sweep Musheer Khan in the 74th over but was caught short of a double century. As he walked back to the pavilion, Shaw appeared upset and exchanged words with a few Mumbai players. Video circulating online showed Musheer Khan as the most animated player during the exchange. The umpires stepped in to separate the players and stop the situation from getting worse.

Earlier this year, Shaw joined Maharashtra after being dropped from Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad. He had made an impressive start in domestic cricket for Maharashtra by scoring a century against Chhattisgarh in the Buchi Babu Trophy. Shaw last played for Mumbai in December 2024.  In 58 first-class matches, Shaw has scored 4,556 runs at an average of 46.02, including 13 centuries. His highest score in first-class cricket is 379.
