5 current Indian U-19 players most likely to represent India at the highest level

#2 Prithvi Shaw

The youngster rose to the expectations both as captain and batsman throughout the tournament

Being the captain of a team isn't everyone's cup of tea. The lofty expectations are sometimes hard to meet and this was the reason why quite a few cricket pundits feared for this calm and composed batting genius. It's not difficult to see why because if history is anything to go by, one can see how things have panned out for someone like a Virat Kohli and on the other side of spectrum, say Unmukt Chand.

Well, all those doubts were put to rest when Prithvi Shaw amassed 261 runs from six matches at an average of over 65. He was able to lead from the front with the bat and his expert bowling changes made sure that all the players from the opposite team were forced to bat in each game. With a batting technique that has drawn comparisons with one Sachin Tendulkar, one can safely bet that senior blue jersey is on the horizon for this talented opening batsman.
