Indian batter Prithvi Shaw continued his impressive run in the ongoing One-Day Cup in England as he smashed an unbeaten 125 to lead Northamptonshire to a six-wicket win against Durham on Saturday. Shaw was unstoppable with his range of strokes as he completed in 68 deliveries after being put down once on 21.

Earlier, he also scored a record double-ton (244 off 153 balls) against Somerset which is also his highest list A score.

With this century, Shaw has also completed 3,000 List-A runs. In 57 matches, he has scored 3,056 runs at an average of 57.66 and a strike rate of 126.69. He has 10 centuries and 11 fifties in just 57 innings, with the best score of 244.

Shaw brought up his double hundred in just 129 balls after having reached his century in just 81 balls. Due to his knock, Northamptonshire reached 415/8 in 50 overs. Jack Brooks (3/75) and Danny Lamb (2/81) were the pick of the bowlers for Somerset. This score proved to be too much for Somerset, who were folded for 328 in 45.1 overs, with Andrew Umeed (77 in 67 balls, six fours and three sixes), Lewis Goldsworthy (47 in 62 balls, with four boundaries) and Curtis Campher (49 in 24 balls with eight fours and a six) being among the key contributors with the bat.

Shaw's 244 is the sixth-highest score in List-A cricket, with the highest score of 277 in 141 balls being smashed by Narayan Jagadeeshan of Tamil Nadu against Arunachal Pradesh in 2022 in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

This is also Shaw's second List-A double hundred. He has the second-highest amount of double centuries. Rohit Sharma has the most List-A double tons, with a total of three, which have all come in 50-over international cricket, with his score of 264 being the highest-ever in international ODI cricket.

The batter is the leading run-scorer in the One Day Cup with 429 runs in four innings at an average of 143.00 and a strike rate of above 152, with two centuries.
