Prithvi Shaw is not the first young Mumbai batsman to get heads turning in CRICKET and most certainly won't be the last. A precocious child prodigy, Shaw has been created a bit of a stir in the Indian cricketing fraternity with a manic display of batting in Mumbai's Harris Shield as a mere 14-year-old - an unprecedented 546, the highest score in any competitive cricket at the time in more than a century until surpassed by one Pranav Dhanawade in 2016. Since then, he has been closely watched by several talent scouts in the Indian cricketing circuit. He hasn't disappointed the expectant aficionados of the game either, scoring truckloads of runs in school cricket and forcing his way up the ranks of junior cricket with the sheer weight of runs.
He was declared the captain of the Indian U-19 side for the 2018 Junior World Cup in New Zealand. With a capable leader in Shaw, a stellar bowling line-up, and under the keen eye of Rahul Dravid, India coasted to the title, as Shaw contributed handsomely with the bat, scoring 261 runs at an average of 65 with 2 fifties to his name. Shaw was invited to play in the school circuit in England, and scored 1446 runs over a two-month period.
Shaw has a god-gifted prowess of timing the cricket ball - with a low grip, and an extremely bottom-handed technique to go with a flourishing bat-swing reminiscent of a wizard brandishing a wand. At a young age, his wizardry through the covers has turned out to be his Achilles' heel too, though he has ample time to work on his flaws.
He is decent against short-pitched bowling, though the quicker pitches in Australia are likely to test him more - particularly given his side-on stance which gives him a fraction of a second less to swivel into pull or hook shots.
Prithvi Shaw for long has been touted as the next big thing in Indian cricket and judging by that Delhi bought him at an excellent price of 1.2 Crores. before Rishabh Pant could cut loose at the death. Shaw will look to replicate those performances when he will churn out for Delhi this year.
