WILL PRITHVI SHAW PROVE TO BE INDIA'S NEXT CRICKETING ICON.......

Unexpected and unprecedented windfalls will surely follow if your name happens to be Prithvi Shaw and you go about setting seemingly unconquerable records in the Harris Shield Inter-School tournament.......
Young and immensely gifted Prithvi Shaw had set the whole cricketing world alight when he notched up the rare distinction of scoring 546 runs all by himself while creditably representing his alma mater Rizvi Springfield in the Harris Shield inter- school tournament in 2013 and lucrative deals were sure to follow him as a result of his sterling exploits with the bat........
Shaw recently became the youngest ever cricketer in the history of this glorious game to notch up or register a deal worth Rs. 36 lakh with the Meerut based Sanpareils Greenlands or SG (manufacturers of cricket equipment) over/for a six year period........
SG has been wholeheartedly endorsed by cricketing giants like Sunil Manohar Gavaskar, Rahul Sharad Dravid and the Nawab of Najafgarh Virender Sehwag in the past and Prithvi Shaw will be the latest budding superstar to lend his name to the brand.......
As mentioned earlier; Prithvi will receive this promised sum of money over a six year span thereby meaning that this ultra talented youngster can now wholly and solely focus his time and effort on honing and polishing this god given talent rather than worrying about where his next cricket bat is going to come from.........
According to Paras Anand (SG's marketing director) Prithvi has been using SG brand bats, pads, gloves and so on and so forth for the last 5-6 years and the company decided to take him on board when they were informed about his incomparable exploits with the bat by Makarand Waingankar, veteran cricket journalist, author as well as proven talent spotter..........
On being apprised of the fact that this prodigiously talented teenager belongs to an exceedingly modest and humble background; SG decided to step up to the plate and not only provide him with their world class equipment gratis but also bear all his accommodation, training and travelling related costs in addition to paying him the afore mentioned sum of moolah.........
"We (the people who matter within SG) firmly believe that Prithvi has the potential to become an integral part of team India within the next 7-10 years" and hence decided to hitch him onto our bandwagon before some other manufacturer of cricket equipment came forward to do the same, Anand signs off.........
On his part, the extremely self effacing and modest Prithvi says that this offer has indded come at the right time as the same will not only provide him with world class cricket equipment absolutely free of cast but will also enable him to solely concentrate on the task of registering further laurels for both himself and his alma mater in the future as he will not be distracted by issues not related to the game as a result of this multi lakh deal..........
Here's hoping and praying that this immensely talented youngster who is all of 14 does himself, his family, Makarand Waingankar and SG proud by living upto his promise and donning team India colours for a decade and a half at least
