Eighteen-year-old Prithvi Shaw made an impressive Test debut on Thursday at the Saurashtra Cricket Stadium, Rajkot. Playing his first Test, Shaw scored a half-century from just 56 balls against West Indies, breaking a number of records on the way.
At 18 years and 329 days, Shaw became second youngest batsman after Sachin Tendulkar (17 years, 107 days) to score a Test hundred. In fact, Shaw is also the youngest of 15 debut centurions for India in Test cricket
Shaw, at 18 years 329 days is now also the second youngest Indian ever to score a Test century, after the legendary Sachin Tendulkar . Sachin, at 17 years and 107 days scored his maiden Test century in 1990 vs England in Manchester, with a fine unbeaten knock of 119.
