Captaincy is not a new task for the young Prithvi Shaw, who has been leading teams right from his Giles Shield and Harris Shield inter-school cricket days to the victorious U-19 World Cup campaign in New Zealand last year. However, there is always room for improvement as a leader and that's what he is focussing on as he leads the North Mumbai Panthers in the ongoing T20 Mumbai League.

"I have always loved captaining teams right from a young age. I was captain of the Rizvi Springfield [Bandra] many years ago but this is totally different. It's a big learning for me. There will be many pressure situations and I have watched and learnt at Delhi Capitals under Ricky [Ponting] sir, Sourav [Ganguly] sir and Shreyas Iyer how they handle pressure at the IPL. So, as a captain, I have to constantly keep thinking about how to handle pressure," Shaw said during a press conference at Wankhede yesterday.
