#1. The captain:

ICC U19 Cricket World Cup - India v Papua New Guinea
Prithvi Shaw led India to the Under 19 World Cup triumph

Prithvi Shaw was very tactical as a captain in the Under 19 World Cup. Shaw has a sharp cricketing brain, which was reflected in the tournament. He also had the experience of playing domestic cricket which clearly made made him the favorite to lead India in the tournament.

Though Shaw was not as aggressive and vocal as Virat Kohli on the pitch, he was spot on with his bowling changes and field settings in the mega event.

Shaw is indeed captaincy material and will look to lead India to another World Cup victory in the future.
