Prithvi Shaw looked in great touch on the first day of the Maharashtra vs Mumbai Ranji Trophy warm-up match. He was on 181 runs off 219 deliveries when Musheer Khan got the better of him off a miscued shot.

The celebration that followed the wicket apparently didn't sit right with the batsman, which led to an on-field altercation, requiring interference by the umpires as well as other on-field players.

Having said that, Shaw has reportedly realized his mistake, having apologized to Khan on Day 3 of the match. It is worth noting that both players share a history.

Prithvi Shaw has been an old friend of Musheer Khan's elder brother, Sarfaraz Khan. In fact, Prithvi and Musheer have been teammates themselves at one point.
