Prithvi Shaw couldn't have asked for a better way to launch himself on the international stage. His earned his first slice of fame when he smashed a then world record score of 546 in schools cricket in 2013. Now, Shaw has forced the world to take notice of him through his dominating show in his maiden international series that concluded here yesterday against the West Indies.

The West Indies have not won a series in india since 1983-84. Shaw smashed a century on Test debut in Rajkot, followed it up with a 53-ball 70 and an unbeaten 33 in the second Test here at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium to bag the man-of-the-series award. A debut century in the Duleep Trophy and Tests provided enough proof of why the teenager has always been regarded as a special talent. "He is a spectator's delight," said India's head coach Ravi Shastri.
