The Positives and the Downsides for the Indian Test Team in 2018

6. The emergence quality youngsters

Mayank Agarwal and Prithvi Shaw are the finds of the year

The emergence of new young players like Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal augurs well for Team India. Prithvi Shaw scored a century on debut against the West Indies before he was ruled out due to injury. Mayank Agarwal, who made his debut in the recently concluded Melbourne Test, impressed everyone with his attacking mindset and scores of 76 and 42. Not to forget Jasprit Bumrah who made his Test debut only this year.

With young players like Prithvi Shaw, Mayank Agarwal, Rishabh Pant and Hanuma Vihari who are already in the team and with other exciting prospects like Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan, the future of Indian cricket is in good hands.
