Prithvi Shaw - The future star

England Lions v India A - Day Two — Prithvi Shaw

After carrying the hopes of the nation for 24 long years, Sachin Tendulkar retired on 16 November 2013. Just four days later, a 14-year-old boy scored 546 runs for Rizvi Springshield School in Harris Shield Cup 2013 in Mumbai. He was none other than Prithvi Shaw.

Prithvi, who was born on 9 November 1999 in Maharashtra, lost his mother to asthma in 2003. With all the responsibility, his father, a trader, decided to make him a cricketer. From there the journey began. Whenever Shaw got opportunities, on the basis of his talent and sheer hard work, he translated those into the achievements.

He started his training at the academy in Virar at the age of 4 in 2004. In 2008, at the age of 8, he became a captain for the first time. But he came into focus when he scored 546 (the second best by an Indian and the fourth in the history of cricket) runs in Harris Shield in 2013.

Recently, Shaw was rewarded for his performances with a national call-up. He has been selected in the 16 member squad for the final two Test matches against England. Let's have a look at his career till now.
