Rajkot, Oct 4 (IBNS): Indian's latest entrant to Test cricket, 18-year-old Prithvi Shaw has scored a century on debut in test cricket on the first day of the inaugural match against the Windies to join a select group of illustrious crickets.

Shaw, who hails from Mumbai, took 99 balls to complete the feat.

By virtue of his hundred, he became the seventh youngest cricketer  to score a century in Test cricket.

Earlier this year, he lifted the Under-19 cricket world cup, captaining his side to victory against Australia in the final.

The youngster has been in red hot form throughout the domestic season, scoring hundreds at ease.
