Ranji Trophy: Mumbai opener Prithvi Shaw has become the second-highest individual scorer in Ranji Trophy. Prithiv Smashed 379 off 383 against Assam on Day 2. Even though he missed the 400-run milestone by 21 runs, he left his name in history.

Shaw became the eighth Mumbai batter and the fifteenth opener in Ranji Trophy history to get a first-class triple century. In addition, he became the third opener and ninth overall to reach 350 runs.

3. Shaw then surpassed the 32-year-old record of 379 runs against Assam, breaking Sanjay Manjrekar's 377, which was the best total by a Mumbai hitter.
