Prithvi Shaw is one of the most talented Indian openers to come through the ranks in recent times. The swashbuckling opener burst onto the scene after playing a marathon 546-runs inning in a Shield match and since then has only got better and better.

Prithvi Shaw led India Under-19 team to victory in the 2018 Under-19 World Cup. Shaw first got attention when he was a member of the Indian Under-19 youth Asia cup winning squad in November 2016 in Sri Lanka. Since then, his name has been associated with the likes of former prodigy Sachin Tendulkar. He reinforced the comparisons when he scored a century in both his Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy debut, a record that was previously held by Sachin Tendulkar. Prithvi Shaw then earned his first IPL contract with Delhi Capitals who signed him for 1.2 crores.

Prithvi Shaw Career

Prithvi Shaw is an Indian international cricketer who gained fame at a young age with his 546-run innings in the Harris Shield Trophy in 2012. Shaw made his first-class debut in the 2017 Ranji Trophy, scoring a century in the second innings and becoming a man of the match. He also equaled Sachin Tendulkar's record of scoring hundreds in both Ranji and Duleep Trophy debut games. Shaw became the captain of India during the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup with Rahul Dravid as coach. His impressive form in domestic and under-19 cricket made him a sought-after talent at the IPL Auction 2018. He was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 1.2 crore. Shaw played his first Test against the West Indies in 2018, scoring his first century and becoming the youngest batter to do so in a debut match. In 2021, Shaw made his T20I debut.

Prithvi Shaw Domestic Career

Prithvi Shaw’s career catapulted to prominence after his marathon 546-run inning in the Harris Shield Trophy in 2012. The inning brought a lot of spotlight and adulation to little Shaw who in April of the same year was invited to play for Cheadle Hulme School in Manchester, England. During his two-month stay there, he scored almost 1,500 runs and took 68 wickets.

In 2014, he played for the Yorkshire ECB County Premier League for the entire summer and mustered up impressive performances.

In November 2016, Shaw was part of the India Under-19 squad that won the youth Asia Cup in Sri Lanka. Two months later, Shaw made his first-class debut in the semi-finals of the Ranji Trophy in 2016-17. He ended up scoring a century in the second innings of the match and made a permanent place in the Mumbai side.

In 2017, he scored his first century at the Under-19 level in his fifth match only. His performances over the years have led to several comparisons to Sachin Tendulkar and he is seen as a future superstar for India.

Prithvi Shaw IPL Career

Prithvi Shaw for long had been touted as the next big thing in Indian cricket and judging by that Delhi Capitals bought him at a jaw-dropping price of 1.2 Crores during the auction.

Prithvi Shaw showed that he was worth every penny spent by the franchise as he amassed 245 runs in 9 matches during IPL 2018 with an imposing strike-rate of 153.12.

However, he had a rather sedate IPL 2019 where he could only muster 353 runs in 16 innings. However, his highest IPL score of 99 came in the same season. The coming 2020 IPL will be a chance for Prithvi Shaw to stage a comeback and show the world that he still is the prodigal-talent.

Shaw's 2021 IPL season was his best in the IPL, with 479 runs in 15 innings and finishing the season as the seventh-highest run-getter. Consequently, he was retained by the Capitals for INR 7.5 crore ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction. Shaw is one of the only two batters in IPL history to hit six fours in an over, the feat he achieved in a game against Kolkata Knight Riders. DC retained him despite his dismal IPL 2023, where injuries and poor form led to his appearance in only eight games. In 2024, Prithvi Shaw is seen opening the batting innings for DC.

Playing his first match, Prithvi Shaw smacked a century and became the youngest Indian player to hit a Test century on debut and second-youngest player to hit a Test century after Sachin Tendulkar.

Shaw was even picked for 2018 down under tour but during one of the warm-up games suffered from a freak injury. Whilst taking a catch on the cow corner, Shaw twisted his ankle and had limber off the field and ultimately had to drop out of the series.

He was picked again for the 2020 tour of New Zealand cricket team but could not muster up any big score as he finished the two-match Test series with a tally of 98 runs under his belt. Severe criticism had followed Prithvi Shaw as Kiwi bowlers repeatedly bounced him out during the course of the series.
