India vs Windies | Prithvi Shaw overshadowed Virat Kohli in Rajkot, asserts VVS Laxman

"It's not often that a Test hundred by Virat is overshadowed. As well as the captain played, his thunder was stolen by a teenaged debutant. Prithvi Shaw is certainly cut out for bigger things. It was heartwarming to see him produce a spectacular century on debut. The young man wasn't overawed by the occasion or the stage, and played in much the same manner as he does in first-class cricket - with a dominant, attacking mindset. His approach revolves around getting on top of the bowling and imposing himself, and he played true to character. That he understands his game so well at such a tender age, and is also mature way beyond his years, indicate that he one for the long haul," Laxman wrote in his column for TOI.

Laxman was, however, critical of the Windies who were blown away on a batting friendly wicket. The team failed to get past the 200-run mark in both their innings. Only Kieran Powell and Roston Chase were able to cross the fifty run mark as the Windies succumbed to their worst loss against India in Test cricket.

But Kohli and Shaw were not the only two who garnered attention for their efforts as Ravindra Jadeja, playing in front of his home crowd, brought up his first ever international century after almost a decade in the team. He then went on to claim another four wickets in the two innings to complete a memorable performance.
