Prithvi Shaw for Shikhar Dhawan

18-year-old wonder boy Prithvi Shaw has been gaining some momentum with his performances in the Indian domestic circuit after leading the Indian U19 team to the World Cup win earlier this year.

He has 1418 runs in 14 FC matches with 7 centuries and a best of 188 to his name. Shaw also had a very good outing for India A on tour to England and against South Africa A, which earned him a call-up to the Indian team. Shaw is an attacking batsman who deserves a chance in the Indian team at expense of Shikhar Dhawan, who has scored 150 odd runs in the England Tests but has not scored a single fifty on the whole tour of England. He has gotten starts but has failed to go on to make a big score and has generally struggled against the movement and swing generated by the likes of Anderson and Broad.

Shaw likes to go after the bowling and can counter-attack well against Anderson and Broad and it might be a mouth-watering battle of the veteran England pacers against a young Turk, whose exploits have gotten him comparisons with the great Sachin Tendulkar.
