5 alternative openers for India

Australia v India - Game 3
India needs Rohit Sharma in the middle more than the top

#3 Prithvi Shaw

ICC U19 Cricket World Cup - India v Papua New Guinea
Shaw is ready for international cricket

Prithvi Shaw, the young Indian prodigy, might be ready for International cricket. He has shown immense maturity for someone of his age and already has five first-class centuries to his name.

Shaw is a dynamic batsman who is equally adapt against both pace and spin and is blessed with some natural talent. Although he has some technical issues to sort out, he is still very young and has plenty of time to eliminate those.

His consistent performances in the domestic circuit might prompt the selectors to give him a go at the International level to open the batting with Shikhar Dhawan. He is surely one for the future.
