After returning back from injury, Prithvi Shaw made sure to announce his return in style. He slammed a 100-ball 150 during India A’s second practice game against New Zealand XI at Lincoln, New Zealand on Saturday. 

The 20-year-old struck 22 fours and two sixes during his blazing knock at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval. He even brought up his hundred off just 64 balls. Batting first, India A were all out for an imposing 372 in 49.2 overs.
