PRITHVI SHAW BREAKS DHONI AND KOHLI’S RECORD - The Daily Guardian https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/sports/prithvi-shaw-breaks-dhoni-and-kohlis-record/ https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/sports/prithvi-shaw-breaks-dhoni-and-kohlis-record/ March 10, 2021, 2:29 am NEW DELHI: Mumbai captain Prithvi Shaw on Tuesday broke former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli’s records of the highest individual score by an Indian batsman in a List A chase.

Prithvi achieved the feat when he hammered an unbeaten 185 off 123 balls against Saurashtra in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy on Tuesday. While Dhoni had smashed a whirlwind unbeaten 183 against Sri Lanka in Jaipur in 2005, Kohli had hit 183 to steer India to a six-wicket win over Pakistan in the Asia Cup clash in Dhaka in 2012.

Prithvi surpassed both Dhoni and Kohli’s score while guiding Mumbai into the semi-finals of the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy on Tuesday.

Prithvi and Yashasvi Jaiswal stitched a whooping 238-run stand for the opening wicket to help Mumbai defeat Saurashtra by nine wickets in the quarter-finals of the showpiece event.
