Mumbai batsman Prithvi Shaw's Duleep Trophy comeback was marred by an early exit against North Zone in Bengaluru on Sunday. The West Zone opener was dismissed for just 22 runs, falling just 13 runs shy of the required 35 for victory. Shaw faced 21 deliveries, managing only four boundaries before Abid Mushtaq bowled a perfect delivery to dismiss him.
North Zone put up a strong total of 251 runs, with Ayush Badoni contributing 51 runs before falling to Mushtaq's final wicket. Shaw's dismissal quickly became a highlight of the match, with cricket fans describing Mushtaq's delivery as a "peach." The wicket marked Shaw's maiden dismissal in the Duleep Trophy, casting a shadow over his return to the tournament.
Shaw had previously scored a century on his Duleep Trophy debut, but his current campaign had started on a disappointing note. North Zone took an early lead, eventually dismissing West Zone for 23 in their reply. As the tournament progressed, Shaw will have to wait patiently for his next chance to make an impact in the Duleep Trophy.
