Mumbai’s opener Prithvi Shaw had a hard time against Vidarbha’s Yash Thakur as he got clean bowled by the pacer with an absolute peach of a delivery during the Ranji Trophy final on Monday (March 11). The ball was pitched at 133.4kph at a good length, it nipped back into the right hander after pitching and Shaw who was looking to defend it lost his wicket as the ball went between his bat and pad.

Shaw could not believe what just happened with him and was seen shaking his head off while walking back to the pavilion.
