About Prithvi Shaw

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 unprecendented 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.
