IPL: 7 cricketers who are destined to be captains in future

#5 Prithvi Shaw

Can he relive the story of Virat Kohli?

Handling pressure and expectation are the prerequisites to become a successful captain. Prithvi Shaw has been doing that for more than five years now, where he has always been compared with the Master Blaster - Sachin Tendulkar. His elegant footwork and technique have been the reasons for his comparison with Tendulkar.

Shaw, much like Virat Kohli burst into the scene by winning the U-19 World Cup. In his first IPL season, he has become an integral part in the Delhi Daredevils batting set-up.

Shaw has already made his Test debut and has cemented his spot in the team as the opener. This responsibility will improve him a captain as well. While the chances of him becoming the captain of the Delhi Capitals team looks slim, as Shreyas Iyer just became the team's captain, but with the age, and talent on his side, Shaw is destined to become a future IPL captain.
