Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021: Prithvi Shaw joins RCB elites Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal
Prithvi Shaw doused Karnataka with an attacking 165 en route to notching up his fourth century of the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021 season. In doing so, the opening batsman matched a unique Vijay Hazare record, which was previously held by only two Indian cricketers, i.e. Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal. Across Vijay Hazare history, Kohli and Padikkal were the only two batsmen to have plundered four tons in a single season.
Virat Kohli fired four centuries in the 2008-09 Vijay Hazare season. Meanwhile, his RCB teammate Devdutt Padikkal has registered four tons to his name in the ongoing edition, much like the Mumbai skipper. Several fans have taken to Twitter to congratulate Prithvi Shaw for his remarkable effort with the bat this year. Here is a look at some of the fans reacting to Shaw’s record-breaking innings.
