Shaw has a great record in the First Class cricket averaging 56.52 with five centuries in just nine games. He got a couple of fifties in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and will be a contender to secure a berth in the upcoming ‘A’ tours.

Shubman Gill was the leading run scorer for India and second overall during the U19 World Cup. He amassed 372 runs at an average of 124.00 with an impressive strike rate of 112.38 and was named the Player of the tournament.
