Prithvi Shaw: International Career Watch

Should've been in the team playing at 5/6 like Kohli in 2011. Anyway, he should be in the team for the next bilaterals. Unfortunate but no point bringing back Dhawan.

Absolutely! Biggest mistake by Indians was not having Shaw in the team instead of Jhadav/Shankar (though Shankar did more than his fair share in India's important victory over Pakistan).
 
202 (170) today in a Ranji First Round match...destined to be on plane to NZ as 3rd opener..
 
Glad we have moved on from Vijay, Dhawan & Rahul. They cost us atleast one series victory in last overseas cycle.

New openers: Rohit, Mayank & Shaw

We need to move on from Rohit too. He is bound to fail outside India. Ideally, Mayank and Shaw should be starting the 1st test as openers in NZ.
 
I want to see him be versatile. Man, if he can bat in various position, that will be great.
 
rohit is a home basher. leave him for home and australia plus w.indies. No England and definitely no n.z tours for rohit

Shaw is a beast. He can play well anywhere particularly bounce.
 
Mayank and Shaw have the potential to be a devastating duo.
people still don't realize how good Mayank actually is.

Saw the highlights of the innings. Even though Shaw is a great prospect for us, this was an innings which came against a pedestrian attack. Most of the deliveries he received were outside his leg stump and had 'hit me' written all over them.

Baroda has a pathetic bowling attack and they proved it yesterday.

Baroda do have a pathetic attack. No real pace bowlers and spinners are mediocre too. But that legside line was forced upon them by first Shaw and then Yadav. It was the only relatively safe place land the ball as a rough had formed there by the second inning. Mumbai sla bowler used it effectively contain and attack.

Shaw will come against better attacks in coming rounds and he will make them look pedestrian specially if you watch highlights.
 
Combination of Sehwag and Sachin. He is just toying with the bowling. Almost like he wants to thrash every single ball. Also he has to pick his spot while lofting the ball.

NZ pitches are usually flat and the grounds are small. For a six-hitter like him, that's music to the ears. I wouldn't be surprised if Rohit has a great test series in NZ.

This will lead him to play in 2021 England tour where he will get exposed by English bowlers.

Yeah, agree with this. I hope he makes all attacks look pedestrian.
 
Seems like he is injured again while playing in Ranjis. Hope it's not serious.
 
Apparently he has a tear in his shoulder that he got while diving. He has been rushed to the NCA.
 
Prithvi Shaw in danger of missing New Zealand Tests

MUMBAI: Sixteen months after he made a striking Test debut, 20-year-old Prithvi Shaw is not just plagued with injury but a supposed lack of discipline is making his comeback a difficult one.

A labral tear in the left shoulder, confirmed through a MRI scan on Saturday, has left the batsman out of action for three weeks. He is presently at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and those in-charge of his recovery expect the batsman to be part of India ‘A’s two four-day matches in New Zealand.

The two four-day India ‘A’ vs New Zealand ‘A’ matches scheduled at Christchurch and Lincoln, in New Zealand, will begin on January 30 and conclude on February 10. With the senior Indian team scheduled to play a three-day practice match at Seddon Park, Hamilton from February 14 — ahead of the two Test matches against New Zealand — it will be a race against time for Shaw to make himself available. “So, very unlikely that he’ll be part of India’s Test squad against New Zealand. Where’s the place anyway? Mayank and Rohit at the top, Rahul is an option — they’re all likely to play the second-four-day game at Lincoln too. He could’ve started this year on a brilliant note,” say those in the know.

For the record, Shubman Gill, who will captain the India ‘A’ team in New Zealand, too is in the running for a toporder slot.

In all likelihood, Shaw will now have to make himself count in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after returning from New Zealand with the India ‘A’ team. For a batsman who has a hundred on Test debut, it clearly doesn’t augur well that he’s been missing out on opportunities in the fiveday format for close to 15 months now and is unlikely to see himself in Test whites all of 2020. “Whose loss is it? How long will it take for him to understand that he was brought into the Test team ahead of Mayank Agarwal, who was the most prolific and consistent run-getter in the domestic circuit that time. If Prithvi is not making the opportunity count, he can only blame himself. It’s his lifestyle causing all the mess,” add sources. Reports of a poor lifestyle are clearly not exaggerated. Those in charge of the teams that Shaw has played for are now being more vocal than ever about the 20-year-old’s way of life — off the field.

“I wouldn’t like to cite particular instances though there’s a list of misconducts that have been reported. The last one was in Baroda. The Mumbai team manager was very angry and reported an incident. I wouldn’t like to get into details here but something’s very wrong. Someone needs to have a very clear and serious chat with him,” add those tracking developments.

From shooting to prominence with a 330-ball 546 in a local school tournament to being the youngest batsman to score a Duleep Trophy century on debut, leading India to the Under-19 World Cup title and finally making a dream debut in Tests with a hundred — Shaw came up the ranks at a pace like few others. He’s busy hurrying back to square one these days at the same pace, or so it seems to appear.

Prithvi Shaw has recovered from a shoulder injury he suffered during Ranji Trophy and after clearing the mandatory yo-yo test at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, will fly down to New Zealand to join India A squad.

Doubts were cast on Shaw’s availability for India A’s shadow tour of New Zealand after he injured his shoulder while fielding for Mumbai in a Ranji match recently. “He cleared the mandatory yo-yo test at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) on Tuesday morning. He should be flying on the 16th or 17th of January to join the India A side in New Zealand,” a source was quoted as saying by The Times of India on Wednesday.

In all likelihood, the 20-year-old opening batsman will also be included in India’s Test squad as the third opener after the first-choices Rohit Sharma and Mayank Agarwal.

Meanwhile, the Indian selectors continue to defer the team selection for New Zealand ODIs and Tests. They are waiting on the status of allrounder Hardik Pandya’s fitness who recently recovered from a back injury after undergoing surgery last year.

Pandya was expected to make his competitive return through the India A tour of New Zealand but was pulled out at the last minute with Vijay Shankar named as his replacement. “We have a few issues to sort out. The teams for the ODIs and Tests in New Zealand will be picked after the ODI series in India,” the daily quoted a source as saying.

Meanwhile, there are reports that middle-order batsman Ajinkya Rahane is also in contention to make his ODI return to add steel to India’s under-fire middle-order.

Prithvi shaw return 150 off 100 -brutal.

Prithvi shaw returned to cricket after ban and injury first with 202 in ranji and now destroying NZ A with a devastating display of hitting.Incredible timing.This guy needs to be in Indian team ASAP.He's averaging 118 in 2 tests he played.Avg 61 in 20 first class games and over 40 in list A games with strike rate 115.


Just watch the timing and batspeed.He has also stopped the bad habit of his backfoot going towards legstump when striking.A beast is coming.
 
It is so obvious he is the next Tendulkar. You cannot help but envy India’s batting resources. They have some batting talent that they cannot accommodate the likes of Shaw and Gill into their team at the moment.

Quite clearly the best cricket nation in the world today. Cricket would be dead without India. I hope India opens with these two after the era of Rohit and Dhawan/Rahul.

Shaw and Gill would be the best opening pair in ODI cricket in 4-5 years time, carrying the legacy of Tendulkar-Ganguly and Rohit-Dhawan.
 
Shaw has the MRF bat already. The MRF bat is like the elder wand of cricket. Only a very special wizard should have the honor to wield it.

Looks like a right handed Brian Lara. . I was afraid after his injury, cough syrup suspension etc he would struggle to get back into the team, boy am I glad I was wrong. Some of his strokes gives me chill up my spine, what an amazing Bat India has found here..

He is closer to Virendar Sehwag than other players.
 
He needs to be in the team ASAP

He’s way better than most players already in the side
 
Only similarity of Sehwag I can see is the attacking stroke play. Shaw plays the pull shot very well, which Sehwag never played, Shaw plays straighter with a still head. Sehwag technique was a bit all over the place while Shaw looks nice and compact.. I just don't see much Sehwag. Maybe it's just me.
 
Well done, Shaw.

Now its up to our dumb selectors to fast track him in the team in all formats.
 
It was against a bunch of Jacob Oram level bowling attack. He's faced better attacks in Ranji. But keen to see how he goes against their A team.
 
I was one of the few fortunate one to see this breathtaking innings.

It was Sunday, so I thought It will be a time well spend by seeing next generation of Indian players. Glad I did this. Shaw was hitting them like they are some kind of club bowlers. One stright six he hit must have gone about 100 meters, it was amazing to see a guy of this stature could hit so long sixes. I was also lucky that I could interact with him and talk about, l food, weather and where they are living so on while he was fielding on the boundary. I found he has really good sense of humour. For example, when one of the kiwi batsman hit for reverse sweep six, he casually said 'Yeh shot practice karna padega, IPL main perform karna hai. When Isan Parel was bowling soem hit me bowls, he said I had to tell him what to bowl after each bowl in the world cup matches etc. The best thing is I could take selfie with him, Sanju Samson and Vijay Sankar. I was thinking these guys will be full of themselves, but they were polite.

You totally forgot about Sehwag then. Sehwag was one of the steadiest stroke player. There is nothing "all over" about hsi stroke play. The way he thrashed Akhtar, Sami, Rana i in his first tour to pakistan was breathtaking. He probably is not a hook shot player. But Sehwag can hold very well with his pull. At his best he can pull 145k balls straight down the ground. so far from what i have seen in terms of approach, attitude, flamebouyance he is like Sehwag. Tendulkar as much as an attacking batsman he is more measured. As far as Lara comparison, only one guy who has batted like Lara is Darren Bravo. Shaw is nothing like him.

Darren Bravo looked close to Lara... Shaw stature albeit a little shorter the way he runs down the wicket and some leg side play all looks like a right handed Lara to me. Also you don't need to tell me about the way Sehwag violated Akhtar and Lee, I saw some of it live at the stadium however his shots didn't resemble Shaws, Shaw looks good because of that compact technique, Sehwag was a better version of Afridi...

For starters, Sehwag started his career by imitating strokes of Tendulkar. During the early part of the career there was a video analysis of Sachin and Sehwag shots. The comparison was eerily similar. Shot for shot Sehwag was matching Tendulkar in terms of execution. So he is no Afridi as you say. He is flamebuoyant with great defensive technique. Otherwise his shots are not unorthodox. Far from it. They are all conventional. He just had this gift of adjust his wrists to place the ball while playing conventional shots. There were some qualities Sehwag was blessed with something not even Tendulkar, Lara had. He has played 100 tests and scored his runs at 82 with an average of 49. So he is far from a "better version of afridi". That is an insult ot someone like Sehwag.

Second of all attitude separated Sehwag from Tendulkar and other guys. Similarly look at Shaw's attitude. His first instinct is to attack. Be it is tour match or India A match or Test match it doesn't matter he plays one way. Some say he is a mixture of Sehwag/Sachin which is also a fair comparison. For what its worth if he can replicate what Sehwag did over 100 tests that in itself will be remarkable.

1 test match strike rate 94
First class strike rate 81
List A strike rate 117
T20 domestic strike rate 149

Sehwag Strike rates

In Tests 82.23
ODIs 104.33
T20 145.38
T20 domestic 142.
 
Another hack in making, let him play 50 70 matches to prove himself worthy for Indian national side.

Yes Sehwag started with shots that looked very similar to SRT, trying to mimic his style. However as the years went by he became less and less and eventually not much comparison to SRT. Ravi Shastri recently said Shaw reminded him of Lara, SRT and Sehwag. A lot of ppl are saying he has a similarity to Sehwag but I just don't see it. Sehwag as he drifted away from any similarities to SRT became a better version of Afridi, when I mean better obviously it means he is a few levels ahead....

Prithvi is very good Stricker of the ball but we didn't watch him playing against quality fast bowling in swinging conditions. He is too aggressive to survive in those situations. I am saying all this because he is a opener and it takes lots of responsibility.

You gotta stop using Sehwag and Afridi in the same sentence when we are talking about batsmanship. He has like 2 triple hundreds in Tests. ALmost registered a 3rd one. Several 150 scores. For like 2 years he was in top 10 ICC ranking and reached a top level of no.2 ranking. There is a lot of difference between a cowlasher and stroke player.

Against Quality fast bowling in swinging conditions Australia bowled out for 60 runs, 47 runs lol Stop putting this imaginary requirement. Unless and until you have a player that you think will be great against quality fast bowling in swingin conditions you have to back this guy. Tendulkar at 16 came in to the side with reputation of stroke play. He didn't exactly grow up in swinging conditions. He made the adjustment. Expect this guy to make the adjustment.

Mayank literally boarded the train and flew to australua 1 days before the third test between india and australia and destroyed their so called top bowlers. Literally came of his couch and spanked them.

That dude is a phenom. He is 28 years old. In his prime. He is a real special player.

Shaw is no different. He will be fine. He already showed glimpses of his potential in tests.
 
He has attitude problems but he is a talent without a doubt. Hits them right from the freaking middle. The bat in his seems huge

Tendulkar made it ICONIC
 
Prithvi Shaw could be in line for an ODI debut in New Zealand having replaced the injured Shikhar Dhawan for the three-match series set to begin on February 5. Both teams play a five-match T20I series prior to that, for which Sanju Samson has been picked as the BCCI confirmed Dhawan, who was first-choice opener before a grade two injury to his shoulder, will report to the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore for rehabilitation.

Shaw, who made a Test century on debut in 2018, is already in New Zealand with the India A team and has been in excellent form. The 20-year old opener struck a compelling 150 against New Zealand A in a warm-up game on Sunday to follow a double-hundred for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy. He did suffer a minor injury scare a few weeks ago, having fallen on his shoulder while fielding, but judging by that hundred in Lincoln, which included 22 fours and two sixes, there appears to be little discomfort.

Shaw has been on an upward track since his return from doping violation in November 2019. His first innings back was a half-century which he celebrated by pointing at his back and then making a talking gesture. The BCCI, while imposing a back-dated sanction, said Shaw had accidentally taken a forbidden substance commonly found in cough syrups. Should he make it to the XI during this three-match series against New Zealand, he will make his ODI debut in the same place where he led India to the Under-19 World Cup title in 2017. Outside of his inclusion, India kept faith in the same squad that beat Australia 2-1 at home.
 
Young opener Prithvi Shaw added a new feather into his cap during the first day of the second Test against New Zealand at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Saturday. Shaw was one of the three half-centurions for India as they were dismissed for 242 in the first essay after Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to field. Kyle Jamieson was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts as he ended with his maiden five-wicket haul.

After failing with the bat in Wellington, Shaw turned up the style in Christchurch and slammed his first overseas Test half-century and just the second fifty of his career. In doing so, Shaw became the youngest batsman to score a half-century at Hagley Oval (20y, 112d).

Also, Shaw became the second-youngest Indian to score a Test fifty against New Zealand after former India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar (16y, 293d), who hit a half-century in Napier in 1990.

Despite Shaw’s good innings, India remain on the backfoot in the match as New Zealand trail by just 179 runs in the first innings following Jamieson’s heroics. Playing only his second Test, the tall right-armer wreaked havoc in India’s lower order as the tourists lost their last five wickets for 45 runs after the second break.

“It’s a pretty special feeling,” Jamieson said after carrying the ball off the field. “I think as a bowling unit we did so well and I was lucky to grab a few. At one stage I thought they were probably going to get a few more, (the wicket) wasn’t doing quite as much as it did in Wellington, so to keep them to 240 is pretty good.”

New Zealand openers Latham, who was unbeaten on 27, and Blundell (29 not out) successfully negotiated 23 overs until stumps and will resume on Sunday looking to cut deep into India’s lead.

He plays too many shots, he was lucky to reach 50... He could have been caught at slips or that top edged six could have been caught....

Overall, he needs to tighten up overseas while opening

I thought initially he was good,placing the ball than hitting it hard.Wagner and Jamieson seemed to trouble him.

Also he needs to improve his fitness and running
 
He threw his wicket away. He needs to learn when to attack and when to play out a good spell of bowling. That will come with experience.

He is a top class player in the making.

If he's gonna continue he needs to learn to play with soft hands.

Prithvi Shaw took a brilliant catch at square leg to dismiss Tim PainePrithvi Shaw failed to contribute with the bat, dismissed for a duckAjinkya Rahane hit a century as Indians declared at 247/9 in 1st innings
Prithvi Shaw failed to make a contribution with the bat, dismissed for a duck in the first innings of the ongoing tour game between Australia A vs Indians in Sydney. However, the opener redeemed himself to some degree on Monday, by pulling off a brilliant one-handed catch at backward square leg to send Tim Paine packing on Day 2 of the practice match. Umesh Yadav dug one in short and Paine pulled it, but didn't get the best of connections. The ball seemed to be going just over Shaw, stationed at square leg, but the 21-year-old leapt, stuck his right hand out and plucked it out of the air, much to the delight of his teammates.

On-air commentators were effusive in their praise for Shaw, with one of them terming it an "unbelievable grab".

Shaw's catch was also important for the team in context of the match. Tim Paine and Cameron Green had bailed their team out of a precarious situation at 98 for five by putting on 104 runs for the sixth wicket.

But that brilliant partnership came to an end thanks to Shaw.

On Day 1, the Indians -- consisting of India's Test specialists and some other fringe players -- won the toss, and elected to bat. However, both openers Shubman Gill and Shaw were dismissed for a duck in a nightmare start.

Hanuma Vihari (15) didn't last long either as the Indians found themselves at 40 for three. Cheteshwar Pujara (54) and Ajinkya Rahane came to the team's rescue with a fine partnership.

Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com
Rahane went on to score a brilliant century, ending the day at 237 for eight.

On Day 2, the Indians declared at 247 for nine with Rahane remaining not out on 117.

I don't rate him at all. Has a very loose technique. It's not like he is extremely young either, a 21 year olds technique should not be this flawed.
