\"cricketKolkata:Bengal batsman Pankaj Shaw, who smashed an unbeaten 413 in a local cricket league game here on Sunday, said his feat is history now and he wants to focus on other targets.<\/p>\n

“I got a congratulatory call from Dada (former India captain and Cricket Association of Bengal President Sourav Ganguly) and it felt good,” Shaw said.<\/p>\n

“I am not thinking about my 400 yesterday. It’s past now. I want to cement my place in the Bengal side and then take it one step at a time,” the 28-year-old said.<\/p>\n

Shaw, who made his Ranji Trophy <\/a><\/strong>debut for Bengal last season, played the massive innings for Barisha Sporting against Dakshin Kalikata Sansad (DKS) in the three-day First Division league tournament conducted by the CAB.<\/p>\n

The middle-order batsman hit 44 fours and 23 sixes during his blistering knock.<\/p>\n

“I have struggled to come,” Shaw, whose father runs a small grocery shop in Rajarhat, Kolkata, said.<\/p>\n

“My father lost his job when I was very young and we grew up with limited resources. I have a big ground in front of my home and I used to play there. At times, my mother would throw the ball at me and I used to bat as my friends were not around,” Shaw said.<\/p>\n

Bengal have failed to qualify for the Ranji Trophy quarter-finals this season and their performance has been abysmal.<\/p>\n

Shaw’s innings in the local league match can be thus taken as a belated balm for their wounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
