Ruturaj Gaikwad Shares Player of the Match Award with Prithvi Shaw
Two cricket players, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Prithvi Shaw, played in a big game called the Ranji Trophy.
Ruturaj scored a lot of points (a century) and was going to get an award for playing well.
But he decided to share his award with his teammate Prithvi.
Prithvi had also played incredibly well, scoring a super-fast double hundred, which is like scoring 200 runs.
This was a special moment because Prithvi had not scored a big score like this for a long time.
Their team, Maharashtra, won the game by a lot of points.
Ruturaj Gaikwad shared his Player of the Match award with teammate Prithvi Shaw.
The gesture followed Prithvi Shaw's rapid double century in the Ranji Trophy match between Maharashtra and Chandigarh.
Shaw's double hundred was the third fastest in Ranji Trophy history.
Maharashtra won the match against Chandigarh by 144 runs.
This century marked the end of a 20-month century drought for Prithvi Shaw.
