18-year-old Prithvi Shaw was earmarked for some good things right from the start and he did so by scoring a century each on debut in domestic cricket in Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy. Soon he got a call-up to the Indian Test team, on back of some brilliant performances for India A.

Recently, on his Twitter, Prithvi Shaw posted a message saying, “To be the Best among the best is what I always strive for”

"He (Shaw) is born to play cricket. He's been playing since the age of eight in the maidans of Mumbai. You can see all that hard work showing. He's a spectator's delight. There's a bit of Sachin there, a bit of Viru in him and when he walks there's a bit of Lara as well," Team India head coach Ravi Shastri said.
