Pri🅰thvi S♑haw is taking it one day and 244 runs at a time.
After a stunning innings of 244 from 153 balls that delivered Northamptonshire an 87-run win over Somerset in England's One-♑D🐼ay Cup tournament on Wednesday, the 23-year-old from Mumbai said he wanted to enjoy his stint and not worry about India selection.
Shaw, struggling with form, fitness and speculation about his discipline, 🅷last play🐻ed for India in July 2021.
"Definitely (here for the) experience for sure. Not really thinking what the Indian selectors may be thinking, but I just want🌳 to have a good time here," Shaw said after the game. “Northamptonshire ha♔ve given me this opportunity... they're really looking after me. I'm really enjoying it.”
Shaw’s k🌸nock, his second List A double century, was studded with 28 fours and 11 sixes.
The ♛sunny conditions made it a good day for batting, Shaw said. He also felt like luck 🧸was on his side and it could be his day.
"The sun was out, it was kind of like Indian weather today (Wednesday), so it was really looking𓄧 good. I wasn't thinking about anything.
"You know when an🌳 inside edge doesn't get me out, that means this day is for me. You have to be lucky sometimes, so I think this was a day for me. I didn't look back after that. When I got 150 I thought I was timing the ball really well and this could be the day to go bigger," Shaw said.
Shaw’s previous highest was List A score was 227, which he scored for Mumbai agains🐻t Puducherry in the Vijay Hazare Trophy in February 2021.
"The 227 was in my head to be honest. I spoke to Whitey (Sam Whiteman, teammate) when he was there and I told him it's 227, my highest score," Shaw said. "It was a good team effort all around. I always try and win matches for the team and I'm the kind of a player who puts my team first and then myself."
