Shaw smashed 125 off just 76 balls, including 7 sixes, as Northants chased down a modest 198 with ease. The opener was in scintillating form from the start, hitting boundaries and sixes at will. He reached his century in just 63 balls, the fastest by a Northants batsman in the One-Day Cup.
Rob Keogh provided good support with a 42-ball 42, as Northants reached the target in just 25.4 overs.
Earlier, Durham were restricted to 198 in 43.2 overs. Luke Procter was the pick of the bowlers with 4 wickets for 34 runs.
The win is Northants’ third in four matches in the One-Day Cup. They are now second in the North Group, behind Warwickshire.
Shaw’s performance will be a boost to his chances of making a comeback to the Indian team. He has been in excellent form in recent weeks, scoring a double century against Somerset in the One-Day Cup and a century against Leicestershire in the County Championship.
The 22-year-old is known for his aggressive batting style and he has the potential to be a match-winner for India in the shorter formats of the game. He will be hoping to continue his good form in the upcoming matches and force his way back into the national team.
Shaw’s favourite cricketer is Sachin Tendulkar. He has always idolised Tendulkar and he has tried to emulate his batting style. Shaw is a very talented batsman and he has the potential to be one of the best in the world. He will be hoping to achieve great things in his career and he will be looking to make a big impact for India in the years to come.
Shaw’s form is a major boost for Northants, and he will be hoping to continue his good run of form in the coming weeks.
The right-hander is a natural talent, and he has the potential to be one of the best batsmen in the world. If he can maintain his consistency, he will surely be back in the Indian team soon.
