One of the brightest upcoming cricketing talent Prithvi Shaw was handed a major injury just six days ahead of their four-Test series against Australia in Sydney Cricket Ground. He has been ruled out of the Adelaide Test with a lateral ligament ankle injury.
Shaw injured his ankle against Cricket Australia XI while he was fielding in the on the deep mid-wicket fence while he caught the opener Max Bryant, but fell as he landed awkwardly on his left ankle as it bent 90 degrees which caused him to fall on the ground and tumble beyond the boundary lines.
Twitteratis were upset and dropped prayers so that he recovers early.

Very unlucky for India and Prithvi. It seemed like a regular catch. But India will miss Prithvi Shaw in the first Test and given KL Rahul's form, this is a big loss. pic.twitter.com/zmvHYlGLPO

So Indian opening batsman Prithvi Shaw has been described as his coach as: part Tendulkar, part Lara.
Heavens above, the kid is 19! Can we not just let him play?

Oh, man. This is Prithvi Shaw’s ankle today. Injuries are the worst thing about sport. I’ve done both ankles at basketball. It’s agony and they still give me trouble. Hope the kid can get back to full health. pic.twitter.com/W6s73NUWFa
