Prithvi Shaw is a terrific player like Virender Sehwag, says Michael Clarke

India have produced a pool of talented youngsters in recent years. Prithvi Shaw is such a name who displayed a great batting performance in the U-19 and domestic cricket, which handed him the international debut in 2018. Prithvi Shaw made his debut against West Indies in a Test match in 2018, where he scored a century on debut.

Shaw was part of the India squad, that toured Australia last year, but the right-hand batsman failed to deliver during the trip. The Indian opening batsman was dismissed for a duck and four runs in the first and second innings of the series opener against Australia. Shaw only featured in the first Test and was then sidelined for the remaining three Tests against Australia. Since then, Shaw has been overlooked by the selectors, and the opening batsman did not receive a call to the India squad.

"It was very hard to have too many expectations from Prithvi Shaw. He needed more time. It was his first opportunity in Australia. You want to give him every chance to see how he goes but unfortunately, he missed out in that Test match in Adelaide. It was his first tour of Australia, and I have no doubt he will come good," he stated.
