However, it was his performances for India A, both in England and at home against West Indies A and South Africa A, that gave wings to his India aspirations. Given an opportunity after their IPL campaign flagged midway, Shaw impressed head coach Ricky Ponting with his fearless batting against the new ball ending with 245 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 153.12. During the tournament, he was sold to Delhi Daredevils for INR 1.2 crore (USD 187,500 approx) in the 2018 IPL auction.

He was then named captain of the Under-19 World Cup squad, a tournament India went on to win. In September 2017, at 17, Shaw became the youngest player to score a century on Duleep Trophy debut, a record previously held by Sachin Tendulkar. Two months later, he made his Ranji Trophy debut for Mumbai in the semi-final against Tamil Nadu and scored a second-innings century that led his team to victory. In November 2016, Shaw was part of the India Under-19 squad that won the youth Asia Cup in Sri Lanka. Shaw's innings was then the highest score in school cricket. Prithvi Shaw shot to prominence as a 14-year old when he scored 546 off 330 balls, an innings that contained 85 fours and five sixes, for his school Rizvi Springfield in the Harris Shield, an age-group cricket tournament in Mumbai in 2013.
