England vs India 2018: 3 Indian Players who deserve a chance in the Fifth Test 

England v India: Specsavers 4th Test - Day One
Captain Kohli has some decisions to make.

#1. Prithvi Shaw

England Lions v India A - Day Two
Shaw has not made his international debut for India.

The 18-year-old prodigy has been on a meteoric rise. He has been already compared to the likes of Virender Sehwag and the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. That is some huge shoes to fill, especially for a teenager who is yet to make his international debut for India.

But that could soon change in the next match as India will surely make a change at the top of the order. Throughout the series, the openers have let India down. Despite trying every possible combination with Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul and Murali Vijay; no opening pair has managed to deliver runs.

Now seems to be the perfect opportunity to give Shaw his first Test cap. Shaw is considered to be the future of Indian Cricket, but that does not mean that he cannot contribute in the present as well.
