Here's how Prithvi Shaw expressed his happiness after India Test call-up

Shaw was one of the star performers along with Vihari and Mayank Agarwal during India A team's recent tour of the UK.

Prithvi Shaw, the young Mumbai opener, grabbed the limelight after winning the fourth U-19 World Cup for India earlier this year. That was just the beginning of his rise. His successful stint in IPL 2018 followed by the India ‘A’ tours finally paid him back on Wednesday as he found himself in the Indian squad for the England Tests.

After the BCCI announced the squad, the selection of Prithvi and Hanuma Vihari created quite a stir on social media. The 18-year-old cricketer took to his Instagram account to express his happiness. He shared one of his pictures where he could be raising his bat to celebrate one of his first-class centuries.

Here’s the post:
