After breaking multiple List A records through a mammoth 244 for Northamptonshire in the One-Day Cup match against Somerset at the County Ground, India’s opening batter Prithvi Shaw insisted that he’s not thinking about what national selection committee back home will be thinking of his performances. Shaw’s mammoth 244 came off just 153 balls, laced with 28 fours and 11 sixes as Northamptonshire put up a huge 415-8 and then emerged victorious by 87 runs. His knock is also the sixth-highest individual score in any List A match.

Shaw had scores of 34 and 26 in his previous two occasions for Northamptonshire. On Wednesday, he reached his hundred in 81 deliveries before switching gears to reach his second ton in very quick time, off just 129 deliveries.
