XtraTime Web Desk: Indian cricket’s wonder kid Prithvi Shaw has showed the world today why he is the next big thing of the world cricket as he became the youngest Indian to score a ton in his debut by hitting a century in just 99 deliveries on Day 1 of the first test of the two-match series against the Windies in Rajkot. Before getting out Shaw scored 134 runs in just 154 deliveries. Former and current Indian cricketers lauded his remarkable batting on their official twitter handle as well.

Congratulations to Prithvi Shaw for a hundred on debut. Love the fact that he can score at a strike rate of 100 just batting instinctively without looking to over attack or by taking risks. ????#PrithviShaw
