The incident unfolded after Shaw, representing Maharashtra, played a magnificent innings against his former side Mumbai, scoring a brilliant 181 runs on Day 1.
### The Incident: Heated Altercation on the Field
Shaw was finally dismissed for 181 by Mumbai bowler Musheer Khan. Following his dismissal, Shaw allegedly charged towards Musheer with his bat, reportedly in anger. This came after intense sledging directed at Shaw earlier in the match, escalating tensions between the players.
Umpires quickly intervened to separate the players. Later, Shaw was also seen exchanging heated words with another former Mumbai teammate, Siddhesh Lad. The altercation unfortunately overshadowed what had been a stellar batting performance from Shaw.

This season has seen Shaw regain his touch after switching teams. Earlier in the year, he marked his domestic debut for Maharashtra with a century during the 2025 Buchi Babu Trophy match against Chhattisgarh at Guru Nanak College in Chennai.
The move to Maharashtra came after Shaw parted ways with Mumbai at the end of the previous season. He was dropped from Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad and last played for them in December 2024.
### Career Overview
Prithvi Shaw burst onto the international scene as a teenage prodigy in 2018, scoring a century against West Indies shortly after his debut. Despite early promise, he struggled to maintain consistent form and was out of the Indian team by 2021.
