Prithvi Shaw and Subham Gill were both parts of the ICC U-19 2018 world cup winning team and both have shown tremendous batting capabilities at just 19 years of age.
Prithvi Shaw made his International test debut for India against West Indies last year where he scored 237 runs in just 3 innings and so far he has played 2 Tests for India.
Whereas Shubham Gill has had an impressive knock at the Ranji Trophy where he scored 728 runs in 5 matches (13 innings). He made his ODI debut against New Zealand this month.
Cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar has shared his thoughts on both the youngsters.
“I’ve spoken about Prithvi Shaw earlier as well, having watched him bat in the nets as a little boy, all of 8-9 years of age, he had something special even back then. I knew instantly that he would play for India,” Tendulkar said while speaking to the Times of India.
His praise knew no bound for them and said that they both have huge potential and they should enjoy the game.
“Shubham also played a crucial role in last year’s U-19 World Cup and has had a good domestic season, so both of them (Prithvi and Shubhman) have a lot of potentials. Having said that, these boys have just started playing for India and they should enjoy their cricket,” the master added.
