5 sacrifices endured by Prithvi Shaw and his father that helped him earn his India cap

#5 Batting in the nets all day long

Even though Pankaj had no background in cricket, he learned how to bowl just so that he his son could face more balls in the net during practice. On hot sunny afternoons when the regular bowlers were tired, Pankaj took on their job and bowled to Prithvi in the nets, sometimes for hours on end at the Air India ground in Kalina in order to help Prithvi hone his skills.

The father-son duo spent each and every minute they breathed with only one aspiration - to help Prithvi become a better cricketer and achieve his dream of playing cricket for the nation.
