Prithvi Shaw (Cricket)
Making his first-class debut in the semi-final of the 2016-17 Ranji Trophy, Shaw scored a century in the second innings and was recognized as the Man of the Match. Then, he scored a century in his Duleep Trophy debut thus equaling the record held by Sachin Tendulkar to score centuries on debut in the Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy as well.
He has scored five first-class centuries in just seven matches (13 innings). Recently, he was named the captain of the U-19 side which will participate in the World Cup in January 2018.
A right-hand batsman and a right-arm off-spinner by trade, he is touted as the next big thing in Indian cricket.
