Prithvi Shaw, still 18, is another batsman from Mumbai who has been in the limelight since his childhood. He scored 546 runs in a Harris-Shield match at the age of just fourteen and from then he is being compared to the 'God Of Cricket'.

He was fast-tracked into Mumbai team and he impressed everyone by his fearless approach and scored centuries at his debut in both Ranji trophy and Duleep Trophy. He was the captain of India U-19 team which won the Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand earlier this year.

He continued his fearless approach in the World Cup and performed decently. He was bought by Delhi Daredevils for IPL 2018 and impressed everyone in the limited opportunities he got there. He was selected in India A team for England tour and performed consistently especially in limited overs format and continued his good form in further matches in List-A cricket.

He was surprisingly selected as an opener in the Indian Test squad for last two tests in England but did not feature in the Playing XI. He has been regarded as the next big thing in Indian Cricket after Virat Kohli and will soon make his International Debut most probably in the upcoming WI tour of India.
