Look: Prithvi Shaw gets involved in an annoying exchange of words with Muss Khan during the warm -up competition of the Ranji Trophy

It became intense during the warming match of Mumbai against Maharashtra when the two teams prepared for the Ranji Trophy, which starts on October 15. The meeting was played in the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Gahunje, Pune.

First hit, Prithvi Shaw hit a ton of 140 balls against his former team, Mumbai. He was part of a huge opening position of 305 runs with Arshin Kulkarni, which hit 186 of just 140 balls. After the resignation of Kulkarni, Shaw continued to contribute to the misery of Mumbai, where he achieved boundaries against a strong bowling attack.

In the 74th over, however, he was caught by Irfan Umair at the bowling of Moss Khan at the fence with square legs. Shaw made 181 of just 220 balls, with 21 celebrations and three sixes. Shortly after his resignation, MSHeer would have taken the experienced campaigner on the grain by saying: “Thank you.”

This celebration did not go well, since he got involved in a Word War with Mossheer before the referee had to intervene to calm the situation. It was also seen that Siddesh Lad tried to calm things down. Shaw had to be ridiculed from the Mumbai players. The former India opener would have tried to lift the bat during the opening day of the friendly competition and to hold the collar of the all-rounder from Mumbai.

“It’s a friendly game. They are all former teammates. Such things happen. It’s all ok now and there is no problem,” Ankit Bhawne, Maharashtra’s leader, told Cricbuzz.

At the time of publication there is no information from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) or the Maharashtra Cricket Association (Maca) about escalating the case.

Shaw wants to breathe new life into his weak career after he has moved the base to Maharashtra and broke the ties with Mumbai prior to the 2025-2026 season. The 25-year-old will want to stay focused on the game and want to stack the runs instead of becoming involved in avoidable fights.
