The former left-handed spinner, Murali Karthik has showered words of praise on Prithvi Shaw for his incredible effort against the Windies. Meanwhile, he also predicts the series against Australia in the upcoming December would be the significant turnaround of his cricketing career.
Prithvi Shaw garnered mammoth runs in the domestic tournaments and got the limelight when he bagged man of the match and man of the series award against the Windies in the two-match Test series.

It would be wonderful If Prithvi Shaw dominates Australia – Murali Karthik
The southpaw furtherly added in his column to Times Now the youngster will be the cynosure of the eyes when India travels Australia. He said the onus would be on the youngster to make the things happen for his side.
Karthik went on to say the success of Prithvi Shaw in Australia would be fantastic. Especially, when facing the likes of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, who can make the life hard on their day.

”The Australia Test series will be the making of Prithvi Shaw. It’s great that he’ll go there with his confidence very high and surely he will be looking forward to whatever the Aussies have to offer. It won’t be easy though. The pitches will have a lot more bounce and pace there than what Prithvi has faced at Rajkot and Hyderabad,” Murali Karthik quoted.
”The bowling quality too will be of a different calibre. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, if they’re fit, are a potent bunch in home conditions and they will make life very difficult for all the Indian batsmen, including Prithvi,” he added to his lines.
However, as Murali Karthik said, the success of Prithvi Shaw in Australia will open a page in the great stories of Indian cricket. Currently, Shaw is recovering from the injury, which he sustained during the Deodhar Trophy 2018.
