The 23-year-old batsman, playing county cricket for the first time, hit 28 fours and 11 sixes during his innings. This is his second double century in List A. This is his 9th century overall in this format. He has been out of the race for the Indian team for the last two years, having played the last match for India in July 2021 on the Sri Lanka tour. He was also not included in the ongoing series against the West Indies and is also not part of the second-tier Indian T20 International squad for the upcoming Ireland series and the Asian Games.
Shaw said after the match, ‘Definitely playing here to gain experience. I am not thinking about what the Indian selectors are thinking. But I want to have a good time here. He said, ‘Northamptonshire gave me this opportunity, they are looking after me and I am enjoying it.’ Shaw said that there was good sunshine and it was ideal conditions for his batting.
He said, ‘The sun was coming out, it was a similar day to the weather in India so it was good. I was not thinking about anything. He said, ‘You know when even the inside edge doesn’t get me out, it means the day is mine. You get lucky sometimes so this was my day. When I scored 150, I thought the timing of the ball was very good and this could be the day to play a big innings.
Shaw said, ‘To be honest, 227 runs was in my mind. I spoke to Whitey (Sam Wightman) and I told him that 227 would be my highest score. “It was a good team effort. I always try to win matches for the team and I am a player who puts the team before himself.
