When Prithvi Shaw beamed with pride at the India Today Conclave 2018

Prithvi Shaw became the fourth youngest batsman in history to score a hundred on Test debut during the first match against West Indies in Rajkot. The 18-year-old is now the youngest Indian to achieve the feat. Before him, only 14 players had scored a hundred on debut.

Shaw has continued his journey as a boy wonder. He announced his arrival with a record-shattering 546 off 330 balls in school cricket as a 14-year-old. By 2017, he was setting more records.

In January 2017, he scored a hundred on Ranji Trophy debut. Later that year, he broke Sachin Tendulkar's record to become the youngest debut centurion in Duleep Trophy.

A few months later, Prithvi Shaw led India to glory in the under-19 World Cup. By then, the cricket world was enamoured by him and he went on to bag a Rs 1.20 crore contract with Delhi Daredevils in the 2018 IPL Auction.

In August 2018, Shaw was named in the Indian sqaud for the last two Tests in England. However, he did not get a game there.

Months before his debut, Prithvi Shaw had shown how matured and level headed he was at the India Today Conclave 2018. When asked if he had ever imagined sitting with the likes of Sourav Ganguly, Ajinkya Rahane and BCCI CEO Rahul Johri as a 14-year-old, Shaw had replied: "Not really... not when I was 14 years old.. but I really wanted to be in the Indian side. I was looking to get into the under-19, the state side and then the Indian side. I was not thinking directly for the Indian team.
