Achieving a double hundred (200 runs or more) has been an outstanding achievement for batsmen in one-day international (ODI) and domestic cricket, both form of cricket is played over 50 Overs. To achieve that score in one day of cricket require great concentration, skill, endurance, and tactical acumen on the part of the batsman. There are only a select few batsmen that have reached the double hundred mark for ODIs and Domestic Cricket throughout the history of cricket, only to have their names immortalised in the annals of cricket as member of an elite group.

The most recent addition to this group is Aman Rao Perala, who played for Andhra Pradesh in the 2025-26 Vijay Hazare Trophy against Bengal and not only achieved his own personal milestone but also was one of the standout performances of this season's List A cricket. History has shown that many of the double-hundred innings played by batsmen have changed the direction of the match and been the highlights of that tournament.

Rohit Sharma is the highest profile player to have a number of List A double hundreds to his name, including his highest score in the ODI, where he set the record at 264, which is still one of the highest scores in the history of 50 overs cricket. Other very notable players such as Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill have also managed to make the double hundred club, indicating that the double hundred is still a milestone that modern-day players aspire to play for.

List of all List A Double Hundreds

The seventh round, which was the final group-stage round of the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, ended on Thursday, January 8. Out of 24 teams, only 12 qualified for the quarterfinals.

Several players made good use of their chances. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Dhruv Jurel scored centuries, while Hardik Pandya and Jitesh Sharma impressed with scores in the 70s. Sarfaraz Khan also made headlines by hitting the fastest half-century of the tournament, reaching his fifty in just 15 balls.

However, many IPL players failed to perform for their teams. Players like Abhishek Sharma, Priyansh Arya, and Karun Nair could not make an impact in Round 7. Take a look at five IPL stars who disappointed in the match.

1. Abhishek Sharma

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab opener Abhishek Sharma failed to make an impact against Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The left-hander scored just eight runs off 10 balls. However, Punjab won the close match by one run.

In his previous two games, Abhishek scored 30 against Uttarakhand and 48 against Maharashtra. Despite being a regular in India’s T20I side, he averages only 33.78 in List-A cricket. He has scored 2,196 runs in 69 matches, including four centuries and eight half-centuries. Because of this, players like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devdutt Padikkal remain ahead of him in the ODI race due to their ability to play long innings.

2. Priyansh Arya

Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi opener Priyansh Arya also struggled with the bat against Haryana. He was dismissed for six runs off four balls. Despite his failure, Delhi won the match easily by nine wickets while chasing a small target of 106.

Arya has been inconsistent this season, with three single-digit scores in seven matches. His low scores include one against Gujarat and five against Odisha. However, he also played some good knocks, scoring 80, 72*, 78, and 74. The 24-year-old will aim to bounce back in the quarterfinals.

3. Urvil Patel

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel have had a poor Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign. He has scored 194 runs in seven matches at an average of 27.71. His best score was 64 against Odisha.

In the latest match, Urvil was out for 15 runs off nine balls as Gujarat suffered a heavy 145-run defeat against Saurashtra. Gujarat won only three of their seven matches and failed to qualify for the quarterfinals. CSK had bought Urvil mid-season last year and retained him at his base price ahead of IPL 2026.

4. Prithvi Shaw

Delhi Capitals (DC) batter Prithvi Shaw has also failed to find consistency in the tournament. He was dismissed for two runs against Chhattisgarh and followed it up with a one-run dismissal against Goa.

Apart from a score of 71 against Mumbai, Shaw has struggled throughout the competition. The Maharashtra opener has scored 193 runs in six innings at an average of 32.16, including two half-centuries. With Maharashtra reaching the quarterfinals, the team will hope Shaw delivers in the knockout matches.

5. Karun Nair

Delhi Capitals batter Karun Nair was disappointed in the match against Madhya Pradesh. The Karnataka batter scored 10 runs off 14 balls as his team was bowled out for 207. Madhya Pradesh later won the match by seven wickets.

This was Nair’s third straight low score, after managing 14 and a duck against Rajasthan and Tripura. However, he earlier played two strong innings, scoring an unbeaten 130 and 62 against Kerala and Puducherry. Delhi Capitals retained him for his base price of INR 50 lakh ahead of IPL 2026.

Just hours after being sold to his former franchise of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Delhi Capitals (DC), in the auction of the 2026 season, Prithvi Shaw has found himself involved in another controversy. On December 16, he submitted an affidavit before the Mumbai court, claiming that the plea by social media influencer Sapna Gill was false, frivolous, and vexatious.

Prithvi Shaw also addressed that Gill filed the pleas with the intention of only maligning and harassing him, due to his public image and celebrity status. His response has come to the original plea of Gill, which was placed before the court after the latter’s brawl with Shah at the Mumbai pub two years ago. The argument between them started over the demand to click selfies.

Gill was arrested at the primary stage after the FIR was registered before her lawyer, Ali Khan Deshmukh, and Gill herself claimed that the police didn’t register the cross-complaint against Prithvi, which involved charges of molestation and outraging modesty.

Gill, later on, appeared before the Andheri magistrate’s court to seek direction from the police to register the FIR. However, the police told the court that no offence was committed against the Indian opening batter and others. The magistrate then ordered a fresh enquiry by the police under Section 202 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Gill challenged the order with a revision petition before the Din Doshi court in 2024.

Shaw has also accused Gill of seeking publicity and attempting to extort money from him by making false claims. His reply attracted a response from Gill’s lawyer, who claimed that it didn’t cover a single iota of evidence and alibi in support of the case, which has now been adjourned to March 31, when the lawyers of both sides argue the plea.

Prithvi, after missing the IPL signing for the last year, gets back to his Capitals, for whom he has smashed 1892 runs in 79 IPL innings at an average of 23.94 and a strike rate of 147.46 with 14 half-centuries.

Prithvi Shaw didn’t feature in the previous season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) due to various reasons, one of which was his drop in form. And it continued after he was unsold on the first three occasions during the IPL 2026 auction on December 16 in Abu Dhabi. Shaw was excellent in the last few clashes since changing his state team to Maharashtra. 

Prithvi Shaw has been excellent with the bat in the IPL with an overall 1892 runs in 79 innings at an average of 24.75 and a strike rate of 147.46, with the help of 14 half-centuries at the best score of 99 against the Kolkata Knight Riders. In the previous season, during 2024, the opener nailed 198 runs in eight innings at a strike rate of 163.63 with one fifty.

Shaw’s best season with the bat in the IPL came in 2021 when the right-handed batter clubbed 479 runs in 15 innings at an average of around 32 and a strike rate of nearly 160 with the help of four half-centuries at the best score of 82 runs. Even in 2019, he nailed 353 runs at a strike rate of 133.71 with two fifties.

In overall T20s, he has featured in 124 T20 innings to cash in 3085 runs at an average of 25.08 and a strike rate of 152.04 with the help of 22 fifties and one century at the best score of 134. For India, he featured in one T20I, managing a first-ball duck against Sri Lanka.

In the recent SMAT 2025/26, he scored 66 runs against Bihar at the Eden Gardens and led the Maharashtra side in the tournament. He will hope for a decent IPL 2026 to be back in the national side.

Prithvi Shaw is back in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He will be featured for Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL 2026 season. It was a tense day for the batter as he went unsold twice in the auction, which was today in Abu Dhabi.

Later, before the conclusion of the event, DC roped in the top-order batter, who played for them before, at a base price of INR 75 Lakh. After remaining unsold in the mega auction last year, Shaw missed the IPL 2025 season. In the recent past, before the auction, he took some major steps to reinforce his career, which went down by miles because of lack of consistency and lack of discipline.

To revive the career, the batter joined the Maharashtra cricket team instead of Mumbai ahead of the ongoing domestic season. For Maharashtra, he had been doing well. After a considerable period, Shaw looked more focused than before. His recent stats for Maharashtra are enough to reflect his current form. The 26-year-old scored 183 runs in seven matches at a strike rate above 160 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025–26 (SMAT 2025).

Prithvi Shaw again Delhi Capitals for IPL 2026 season

Shaw has represented only Delhi Capitals in the IPL. Across 79 matches, he has scored 1,892 runs at an average of 23.94 and a strike rate of 147.46. Due to insufficient runs, the franchise released him before the IPL 2025 mega auction, where he did not get a single bid from any franchise.

As he was unsold earlier today, another IPL season without Prithvi Shaw was looking possible. But the Delhi-based franchise again showed their trust in the talented batter. 

Prithvi Shaw remains unsold in the IPL 2026 auction. The talented cricketer remained unsold in back-to-back IPL auctions. It was a surprising moment for the cricket fans on social media platforms when no one in the auction room showed any interest for the batter.

The batter did well for Maharashtra in domestic cricket in the recent past. Along with Cameron Green and some other prominent cricketers, there was hype around Prithvi as well. But as it showed, the franchises perhaps lost interest in the batter.

Shaw went to the IPL 2026 auction with a base price of only INR 75 Lakh. With the base price, anyone in the room could bid for the top-order batter. As there was no paddle up, Mallika Sagar, IPL 2026 auctioneer, had to say, "Prithvi Shaw remains unsold."

Prithvi Shaw unsold in IPL 2026 auction 

Before the auction for a fresh Indian Premier League season, Shaw displayed his batting potential for Maharashtra. Prithvi Shaw scored a spectacular double century (222 runs off 141 balls) for Maharashtra against Chandigarh in a Ranji Trophy match in late October 2025, marking the third-fastest first-class double ton by an Indian and his first Ranji hundred for the team, which significantly boosted his comeback hopes. After that, there were few half-centuries from his bat as well for the state team.

As he scored tons of runs for Maharashtra, a part of cricket fans assumed that this time he might find a new destination in the league. Few thought that Kolkata Knight Riders, with the biggest purse in the auction room, could go for the batter. But they, too, remained unmoved, and the player went unsold.

Talented opening batter Prithvi Shaw faced a new low after going unsold in the previous IPL auction. He had a difficult season with the Delhi Capitals (DC) in 2024 and was released, even though he was one of their top retentions after the 2021 season.

Since then, the explosive batter has been working hard to make a strong comeback. To his credit, he is on the right path. His performances are making headlines again, instead of controversies or mistakes.

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are one of the teams preparing for a major rebuild in the mega auction. After releasing players like Quinton de Kock and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the team clearly needs a new opener on their list.

On that note, let us look at three reasons why KKR should sign Prithvi Shaw at the IPL 2026 Auction.

1. KKR Need an Aggressive Opener

KKR had great success when they used aggressive openers like Phil Salt and Sunil Narine in their 2024 title run. But Narine is not in the same form now, and players like Quinton de Kock and Rahmanullah Gurbaz also failed to deliver. So, KKR must look for a fresh modern-day opener in the auction.

Ajinkya Rahane and Narine had decent strike rates in the powerplay, but they are not long-term options, nor do they match the firepower seen in other teams.

KKR have a big purse, but they also have many other key slots to fill. So choosing a strong but budget-friendly opener makes sense.

Prithvi Shaw, despite ups and downs, remains a powerful attacking batter who can take on any bowling attack. His IPL powerplay strike rate is 146.62, which rises to 150.34 outside it. In T20s in 2024, he scored at a strike rate of 153.39.

With support and confidence from the franchise, Shaw can easily become one of the most explosive openers in the league.

2. Prithvi Shaw Is Showing Strong Signs of a Comeback

Shaw has been in good form after moving to Maharashtra in domestic cricket. He bounced back strongly after a tough 2024 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

He started his Ranji season with a brilliant double century against Chandigarh. Midway through the season, he has an average of 67.15 and a strike rate of 92.33.

Shaw also carried this form into white-ball cricket, scoring a quick 36-ball 66 as captain against Hyderabad.

After a long gap, Shaw finally looks confident, settled, and free from off-field distractions. This is the perfect time for a team like KKR to invest in his second rise because his talent has never been in doubt.

3. Nayar and Rahane Can Bring the Best Out of Him

For Shaw’s comeback story to work, he needs the right environment. KKR offer exactly that with coach Abhishek Nayar and captain Ajinkya Rahane.

Nayar has a strong record of rebuilding players mentally and technically. He played a huge role in reviving Dinesh Karthik’s and KL Rahul’s T20 careers.

Rahane is highly respected in Mumbai cricket and has seen Shaw grow from his early days. He has even guided Shaw in tough moments, as recalled by former fielding coach R. Sridhar.

Playing under Rahane’s leadership and Nayar’s mentorship will give Shaw discipline, focus, and the support needed to prove himself again.

Should Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bid for Prithvi Shaw during the IPL 2026 mini auction? The question has been asked constantly on social media platforms mainly for two reasons—the huge purse of KKR ahead of IPL 2026 and Prithvi Shaw's recent performance. Amid the discussions around Shaw's chances in the upcoming auction, a video of Abhishek Nayar is surfacing on the internet. 

Nayar, the apppinted coach of the multi-time IPL franchise, said in the podcast that he would like to work with Shaw. The date of publication of the podcast is not mentioned in the social media post, but still, Nayar's admiration and willingness to work with the talenten batter are clear from his comments. 

Nayar said, "If I had to work with someone that has potential, and messed it up and everyone knows. Maybe Prithvi (Shaw). Because of what he's going through. But! That is what I want."

In the video, Nayar further stated, "I think that would be a fun person to work with. To sort of resurrect his career, which I'm pretty sure he will on his own if he puts in the work. Because, he is God's gift to cricket."

Abhishek Nayar drops a banger 🗣:
"I would like to work with PRITHVI SHAW"

Well, well 👀😀

Why should KKR go for Shaw? 

KKR was the champion of IPL 2024 season but missed a chance in IPL 2025 in the round of four. For the upcoming season, with over INR 60 crore in money bag, they are ready for some big deals. After a deep downfall in career, Prithvi Shaw is now in a redemption mode with Maharahstra cricket team. To revamp his career, the top-order batter shifted from Mumbai to Maharashtra. Ahead of the IPL 2026 mini auction, Indian cricket fans are curious about his future in the Indian Premier League.  

After a disappointing season in IPL 2025, the former champions are all set to make some changes in their squad. They may have the desire to sign some exciting top-order batters who can score runs aggressively. Shaw can be fit for this role. Shaw’s powerplay aggression and spin-hitting ability would suit Eden Gardens’ traditional pitch conditions. The right-handed batter also can be useful if the franchise wants to apply a rotational formula to utilize most of their talents. 

To revamp their glory days, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is in full swing to restructure their squads. In the previous Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season, the 5-time IPL-winning franchise was placed at the bottommost position of the points table. It was a rare setback for the franchise.

Apart from some glimpses of batting brilliance, they lacked consistency. So, it is expected to see multiple new faces in their squad for the IPL 2026 campaign. According to some fresh claims, Chennai Super Kings can target multiple Indian batters, including Prithvi Shaw, during the upcoming mini auction.

Shaw, who made a shift from Mumbai to Maharashtra for the Ranji Trophy 2025, displayed his attacking batting by scoring some notable runs, including a double hundred. After a long time, the top-order batter is looking focused on his game. As Shaw is looking promising, Indian cricket fans are curious to see whether any franchise will like to take a bet on him during the IPL 2026 auction. Apart from Prithvi Shaw, few other Indian cricketers are also under CSK's radar. According to reports, Akshit Raghuwanshi, Kartik Sharma, and Salman Nizar are some of the cricketers CSK could target during the auction.

CSK can try to bring in multiple Indian batters for IPL 2026 season 

During the middle of the IPL 2025 campaign, when the team was struggling with their batting, they brought young Ayush Mhatre into the team, which proved effective instantly. Dewald Brevis, another young prodigy who scored some runs with aggressive intent.

Instead of signing multiple established players, now the club can focus on securing the services of multiple emerging talents like Raghuwanshi, Sharma, or Nizar. Though, about the team-building process, the final decision is yet to be made. Meanwhile, it was confirmed by the franchise that MS Dhoni is all set to feature in the upcoming IPL season as well.
