#2 Prithvi Shaw

Indian batting has failed miserably so far in the series especially on surfaces that had nip for the fast bowlers. The likes of James Anderson and Stuart Broad have got the better of Indian batsmen on most occasions. The team has looked in all sorts of bother with batsmen failing to set up the game for the fast bowlers. Before the first innings at Trent Bridge, it was only Virat Kohli who looked to dominate the opposition..
With Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara failing to get into their groove, selectors might just jump the gun to go in for other options. Someone like Prithvi Shaw, who is recklessly knocking the doors for his selection in the national team can be seen as a viable option for a place in the Test squad. Prithvi has registered tons of runs in recent times on the same soil in the Tri-series. His hunger for runs and the counter-attacking approach can make him a feasible option to act in support of Kohli in the lackluster Indian batting group.
