Pics: Prithvi Shaw ready to fit into Tnedulkar’s shoes?

Prithvi Shaw entered the record book soon after he scored an astonishing 546 playing for Rizvi Springfield against St Francis D'Assisi Borivali in an inter-school match for the prestigious Harris Shield. Touted as one of the bright young prospects emerging out of Mumbai school of batsmanship, the state U-16 captain Prithvi hit 85 boundaries and five sixes in the match played at the Azad Maidan. In the process, Prithvi became the first schoolboy cricketer to hit a 500 plus score in an official inter-school match. Call it superstition or the Mumbai school of batsmanship which teaches one to put team before self, 14-year-old Prithvi Shaw had categorically told his teammates not to prompt his personal score, which is why he didn't know that he reached 490s during his knock of 546.
