3 Players who can be a long-term replacement of Murali Vijay in Test Cricket

#1 Prithvi Shaw

Prithvi Shaw

Prithvi Shaw is one of the best young players in India today. He got his maiden India call-up in the Test series against England but did not feature in starting eleven. Several people expected him to play the fifth Test match because the Indian openers have been substandard in the Test series.

As a matter of fact, Hanuma Vihari made his Test debut in the fifth Test match and scored an important half-century in the first innings.

Shaw could be a perfect long-term replacement for Murali Vijay in Test cricket. The 18-year old is still very young, and he could go on to play for a long period of time. He has a stupendous batting technique and might become an important addition to the Indian Test squad.

Shaw has an awe-inspiring stroke play and has a noteworthy footwork. Till now, he has amassed 1418 runs in 14 first-class matches at an average of 56. He has hit seven centuries and five half-centuries in the domestic cricket.
