They can knock on the door as much as they like but it won't open as the ageing members of the Long Rope Club stand in the way. 

He is not the one who will knock it. He will shatter it.

You think Shaw can't  be our next "floater"  or "consolidator"?

What was impressive was the mature manner in which Prithvi constructed his innings.... being cautious when needed and attacking when needed.

Another gr8 thing he looks to have so much time while playing the ball, it was evident against Ishant and he is no trundler

Cabt happen as Rahane will get even more malnourished and Dhoni's ego will take another beating. 

 

Can't even remember the last time a young player was given a debut and a decent run in the team.

I would trust him more than Dhawan as our back up opener in testing conditions. But hey thats just me. 

Dhawans 187 in début was Freaking innings so is Nair's 300 vs Freaking England,on road

Hardik Pandya says Hello.   Virat was very young when he started playing for India.  And Rohit Sharma was barely out of u19 when he played for India in the 1st T20 World Cup.  But why be "real"?  Much easier to throw around innuendo.  

[Wapas]

No one remember any other Indians who makes runs at tender age because that was in 2002 or before, now BCCI  doing same as England, Pakistan is only country in the past who support player from very young age.Mushtaq début before 16.(haneef's bro)

 

Parthiv in 2002 vs England when he was 17.Shivramakrishna,maninder,piyush Chawla, all 3 were 17 on test début.

 

Chetan Sharma at 18 vs Pakistan.PAKISTAN'S Javed Miandad scored 206 on début vs eng at 19.Umar Akmal 129 and 76 on début at 18 in Newzeland in test, yes.

 

Yasser Hameed not even 20, hits 170 and 105 on début --Chanceless  both innings

We should try this kid P:Shaw vs SL in our 70th independence year celebration

I just watched highlights.First thing i noticed i Ishant really sucks now,he has fallen off the map.Prithvi shaw is a natural strokemake and should be playing in A teams soon but he is a long way off from making an international debut for india,he is too loose outside off ,he should has been out a couple of times if the slips were placed properly.

So one young player in the last 10 years, you obviously don't set the bar very high.

Kohli and Sharma made their debuts in the previous decade so not exactly recent. Fact is Eng now give young players more of a chance than India - the Dhoni years being particularity regressive with preference given to recycling has-beens like RP Singh than nurturing new talent.

How old was Kuldeep when he made his debut?. How old was Bumrah? How old was KL Rahul on his test debut?.  How old was Axar Patel?

Hardik, Kuldeep, Chahal, Bumrah, Rahul

 

Pandey and Axar being tried now too.

 

It must be said though that all these young players have added a lot of freshness, quality  and variety to our team .... and this experience lays down a case for 2 or 3 more new faces.

 

Krunal, Shankar, Iyer, Pant, Siraj and Aniket C .... need to be tried too.

Chahal is not that young 27, neither Shankar, Krunal, Aniket are that young. all 25 plus. Pandey is not young too. He is closing on 30.

Unless one is a fast bowler, any player in his 20s is young and can have a 8 year + career.

All names you've said, can still have another 10 yeas career, if they are good enough. So by default, they are young enough.

Stop obsessing over kids to throw at the deep end over seasoned vets.

yes they can have careers but they cannot be called young forever.
