Earlier, the Indian Cricket Board secretary Jay Shah happened to post a tweet lauding Prithvi for his historic triple century against Assam in the Elite Group B match.

“Another entry into the record books! What an extraordinary inning @PrithviShaw! Congratulations on hitting the second-highest Ranji Trophy score of all time. A talent with immense potential. Super proud!” read the tweet posted by Jay Shah on his official Twitter handle.

Prithvi Shaw humbly replied to Jay Shah’s tweet and wrote, “Thank you so much Jay Shah sir. Your words of encouragement mean a lot. Will keep working hard.”
