Forget every other cricket player for a second, the man of the hour is Prithvi Shaw and no one can seem to stop talking about him.

Saying that he played brilliantly against West Indies would be an understatement, I mean, he just became the 15th Indian cricketer to score a century in his debut Test match. 

Moreover, the 18-year-old achieved the huge feat at the opening day of the first Test against the West Indies at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot today, but everyone already knows that.

Shaw also became the second youngest Indian ever to score a Test century, just right behind the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. I feel like having your name up there with someone like Sachin is an achievement in itself.

It was the perfect occasion for all desi cricket fans to get together and celebrate this achievement.

Bohot dum hai.

It's been the Shaw show. Congratulations Prithvi Shaw, abhi toh bas shuruaat hai , ladke mein bahut dum hai #IndvWI pic.twitter.com/obEcSylvCV

A round of applause.

Congratulations to Prithvi Shaw for a hundred on debut. Love the fact that he can score at a strike rate of 100 just batting instinctively without looking to over attack or by taking risks. ðð��ð#PrithviShaw

Maybe.

Before Rajkot, the last time West Indies played a Test in India, Sachin Tendulkar bowed out of international cricket
