India’s Prithvi Shaw hits Test debut century

    Prithvi Shaw has become the youngest Indian to hit a century on his Test debut.

    The 18-year-old reached his hundred off just 99 balls, hitting 15 fours, against West Indies in Rajkot, to surpass the record of Abbas Ali Baig.

    He eventually fell for 134, caught and bowled by Devendra Bishoo.

    The opener is also the fourth youngest player of all time to hit a debut ton and the second youngest Indian to make a Test century after Sachin Tendulkar.
