Prithvi Shaw, the high-profile batsman who has moved from Mumbai to the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA), announced his arrival in style – scoring a century in his very first appearance for MCA in the Buchi Babu Tournament. The innings gave the team a commanding platform and underlined Shaw’s intent to play a leading role for his new association this season.
In a match that showcased both control and aggression, Shaw anchored the MCA innings with an authoritative performance that kept the scoreboard ticking through the middle overs and accelerated when needed. His century provided the backbone for a competitive total and proved decisive in establishing MCA’s dominance in that fixture.
The move from Mumbai to Maharashtra has been one of the more talked-about transfers in the domestic circuit this year. Shaw – a product of Mumbai’s rich cricketing system and a player with international experience — brings proven top-order firepower and experience of big-match situations. His presence bolsters MCA’s batting resources as the association prepares for the busy domestic calendar ahead.
MCA’s coaching staff and management welcomed Shaw’s contribution, noting that his blend of technique and attacking intent complements the side’s plans for the multi-day and limited-overs campaigns. Beyond immediate match results, Shaw’s arrival is expected to have a positive ripple effect across the squad: younger batsmen will benefit from his experience in the nets, and sponsors and fans alike have a fresh storyline to follow through the season.
The Buchi Babu Tournament – a key part of the domestic pre-season – offers MCA a strong platform to fine-tune combinations and evaluate players under competitive conditions. With Shaw now integrated and making an instant impact, MCA’s prospects look brighter as the team moves into the next block of fixtures. MCA will carry momentum into its upcoming practice matches and tournaments. Fans can follow team updates, fixtures and highlights on the MCA website and official social channels.
