England Lions v India A - Day Two

Such is the might and greatness of this young star of Indian cricket, that it's almost half a decade now that cricket enthusiasts in India are tracking his progress and hearing about him in almost all news sources.

The right handed player from the outskirts of Mumbai, praised very often by Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar himself when he was just starting off in inter-school cricket, Shaw has garnered praise from the whole cricketing fraternity for his consistency and unique abilities.

He has been compared to Tendulkar for the similar batting technique.

Prithvi Shaw has been a good famous cricket name in the Mumbai Cricket for sometime now, but he rose to international stardom at a mere age of 18 when India won the U19 World Cup this year, under his leadership and coach Rahul Dravid's guidance.

He currently featured for India's senior Test side as the Indians hosted West Indies in a Test series.
