Mumbai prodigy Prithvi Shaw has been making rapid strides in Indian domestic cricket after making his FC debut for Mumbai team against Tamil Nadu last year. He immediately made an impact as he scored his maiden century in the second innings of his debut match. He never looked back after that as he hit seven centuries at an impressive average of 56.72.
He even captained the Indian Under-19 squad this year at the Under 19 WC where India emerged victorious. Even in the recently concluded India A tour held in England, he amassed 250 runs in 4 innings at an average of 62.50 and finished at the top of run charts. He was selected as a replacement for veteran opener Murali Vijay for last two Tests in England but could not make the final eleven. So he is the most likely candidate to open the innings along with KL Rahul in the immediate future.

About the author
Balakrishna
Balakrishna has been a cricket writer at Sportskeeda for almost seven years. A sport that he has been following and playing since he was eight, Balakrishna enjoys the intensity of the sport, skills and strategies applied to get a result out of nowhere, and the thrill that it gives. He also played as a medium pace bowling all-rounder in four inter-college tournaments, winning twice.
Balakrishna’s all-time favorite cricketers are Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma. He admires Sachin’s stellar performances against legendary bowlers, along with his discipline and humility. Meanwhile, he is a big fan of how Rohit turned around his initial struggles to build a successful career.
He avidly supports Team India and 2016 IPL winners SunRisers Hyderabad. The first World Cup that Balakrishna ever saw was the 2003 World Cup, when Australia comprehensively triumphed over India in the final.
While working, he ensures he only uses reliable sources and provides relevant, ethical, and accurate information. When not working, Balakrishna enjoys playing table tennis and reading non-fiction books.
