Srinagar: Out of favour Team India young batter Prithvi Shaw got off to a comical start in his England domestic cricket stint as he got out hit-wicket.
On Friday Prithvi Shaw got out against Gloucestershire on Northamptonshire debut in England’s One Day Cup in a comical fashion.
As it happened right-arm pacer Paul van Meekeren bowled a perfectly-rising bouncer at Shaw from over the wicket.
Shaw tried to pull it but the ball bounced over his swing to the wicketkeeper at pace, and he lost his balance. As he collapsed, the bat clipped the base of the stumps. As the fielding team celebrated, he sat and pondered.
Earlier Gloucestershire set a target of 279 in 50 overs thanks to a century from Graeme van Buuren. Shaw had gotten off to a good start in the chase, racing to a run-a-ball 34 with two boundaries and a six, despite wickets falling rapidly on the other end.
