Prithvi Shaw has now become the highest run-scorer among all the youth captains who have led India in the ICC Under-19 World Cup. He scored a total of 261 runs throughout the tournament and rose to the expectations surrounding him and his willow from its very beginning.

Apart from shining with the willow, the Mumbai batsman also made inspired changes in the field. He showed maturity above his years while captaining the national side and proved to be the perfect leader for the young pack.

Shaw has already drawn up comparisons with none other than Sachin Tendulkar with his splendid performances in domestic cricket. Now, with the World Cup trophy in his hands, his name will be used in the same bracket as Mohammad Kaif, Virat Kohli, and Unmukt Chand.

The youngster is on the path to glory and looks all set to represent the senior team one day.
