England Women Cricketer Danielle Wyatt recently congratulated young debutant Prithvi Shaw, who bagged the man of the match award in his first Test against Windies at Rajkot.
Meanwhile, the 18-year-old did justice to his selection as he played with great authority on his maiden Test. He dominated the Windies bowlers bringing his century in just 99 balls. However, Prithvi Shaw eventually got out on 134 runs. In doing so, he became the 15th Indian and second Indian opener to score a debut Test century.
The bowlers complemented the batters to pick 20 wickets with two sessions. While Ravichandran Ashwin stole the show in the first innings, Kuldeep Yadav’s fifer skittled Windies in the second essay. Windies struggled to offer any resistance as they lost the match by an innings and 272 runs.
Prithvi Shaw, meanwhile, banking his swashbuckling hundred earned the player of the match award. Soon after the game, Shaw took to Instagram to pour his heart out.
He also thanked everybody for showering him with blessings and wishes.
“I am a member of a team,and I rely on the team,I defer to it and sacrifice for it,because the team,not the individual,is the ultimate champion. THIS IS WHAT I LIVE & PLAY FOR…MY Teammate APPLAUSE. And Thankyou each and everyone for your love for your support and blessings and for your lovely msges#specialmoment#testdebut,” Prithvi Shaw wrote on Instagram.
Meanwhile, Danielle Wyatt was quick to respond to the post as she congratulated him on a wonderful knock. Wyatt drew limelight after she proposed India skipper Virat Kohli on Twitter. Although Kohli didn’t agree to her proposal but gifted her a bat shortly after that.
“Well done kid,” Wyatt replied.
Meanwhile, the second Test between India and Windies will start from October 12 at Hyderabad.
