Ravi Shastri expects Prithvi Shaw to be fit by this weekend

"It was really unfortunate,. In fact, we all were looking forward for him to play. It's always exciting when you have an 18-year-old kid who has come up the ranks, who has got runs in all formats for the game when he's played back home. It was heartbreaking to see him go down the way he did but the good thing is he is recovering quickly. He's already started walking. Hopefully if we can get him to him run a bit by the weekend, that's a really good sign," Shastri told ESPNCricinfo.

Shaw is on his first tour to Australia it was unfortunate that he picked up the injury during the warm-up game against Cricket Australia XI. Shastri added that the Indian management along with captain Virat Kohli will take a call on Shaw’s condition ahead of the second Test match against Australia which will be played in Perth on December 14.

Prior to the trip to Australia, Shaw enjoyed a fairytale debut for the senior team as he was adjudged man of the series in the two-match showdown against Windies at home.
