About Prithvi Shaw
Prithvi Shaw is one of the most naturally gifted batters to come out of Mumbai in recent decades. Born in 1999, he grew up travelling long distances across the city to train, with strong support from his father. He captained India to the 2018 Under-19 World Cup title and made a spectacular entry into Test cricket later that year.
Career highlights
Prithvi first made headlines as a schoolboy with a record-breaking innings in Mumbai’s Harris Shield. He made his first-class debut for Mumbai in the 2016–17 Ranji Trophy semi-final and scored a century, then scored a century on debut in the Duleep Trophy too, equalling a record held by Sachin Tendulkar.
On his Test debut against the West Indies in October 2018, aged 18, he scored a century, becoming the youngest Indian to do so on debut and the second-youngest Indian Test centurion after Tendulkar. The ICC named him one of the breakout stars of 2018. In 2019 he served a suspension from the BCCI for a doping violation linked to a cough syrup, returning later that year. He has played for India in all formats, for Delhi Capitals in the IPL, and now represents Maharashtra in domestic cricket.
What audiences love about Prithvi
Fans are drawn to Prithvi’s attacking, fearless style at the top of the order, which often reminds people of Virender Sehwag. His early record-breaking innings made him a household name while still a teenager, and many fans continue to follow his career closely.
His innings of 546 in a Harris Shield school match in 2013, when he was just 14, became national news and made cricket fans aware of his talent years before his international debut. That early fame, followed by real success at senior level, made him one of the most talked-about young players in Indian cricket.
