#3 Prithvi Shaw for Rahul Dravid

Prithvi Shaw

Many say that Rahul Dravid never got his due credit of being a cricketing god because his career flourished alongside Tendulkar’s heroics. If there is one player who can aptly fit into this role, it has to be the Under 19 World Cup winning captain of India, Prithvi Shaw.

It’s just a matter of time before he earns his maiden Test cap and makes a loud noise with his performances. He is not just a bright Indian prospect, but many believe that he is going to walk in the footsteps of all-time-greats Sachin Tendulkar. Not only his stance, but his temperament and composure at the crease made many cricketing pundits say that this chap is here to stay.

After a promising showing at the IPL 2018 for Delhi Daredevil, the 19-year old displayed sound technique of hitting the ball with murderous intent. Having all textbook shots to his armoury, Prithvi Shaw can rightly be the next ‘Wall of the Indian Cricket,’ a role which Rahul Dravid essayed with near perfection in his long decorated career.
