England Lions v India A - Day Two
The 18-year old talented opener Prithvi Shaw is part of the squad and he should be given a chance in the next game

India's openers have been the biggest let down of the Test series and they consistently failed to provide a good start.

Murali Vijay lost his place after scoring just 26 runs in the first two Test matches. But KL Rahul is also finding hard to make runs and he could lose his place in the next game. Meanwhile, Rahul's recent overseas record is quite embarrassing. He scored only 171 runs in his last 10 overseas innings at an average of 13.

Similarly, Shikhar Dhawan struggled throughout the series and he has not scored a half-century yet. The 18-year old talented opener Prithvi Shaw is part of the squad and he should be given a chance in the next game. The youngster is an adroit batsman who is capable of playing big knocks. Shaw has an impressive domestic record in his young career. He has scored seven centuries and five half-centuries in 14 First-class matches.

Additionally, he has an awe-inspiring average of 56. His temperament is noteworthy and he can definitely make a big difference in the fifth Test match.
