The ‘Apna Time Aayega’ rap has become famous because of the upcoming Bollywood film Gully Boy and now, it has taken the country by storm. From teenagers to adults, almost everyone is obsessed with the rap. Well, the future superstar of Indian cricket, Prithvi Shaw also could not stop himself from using the popular lines of the rap. The young prodigy is currently sidelined with the ankle injury he sustained in Australia.

One of the most highly-rated young cricketers in India, Shaw made his much-awaited Test debut during the Windies series at home last year and completely lived up to the expectations. At 18, he became the youngest Indian to make a Test century on debut. He followed that up with 70 and 33*, taking his batting average for the year past 118. Unsurprisingly, hopes were sky high from him when he travelled to Australia with the team for the four-match series. His contention in the team has further elevated his chances after a blazing fifty in the warm-up game.

However, hours later he suffered a big setback when he injured his ankle while fielding in the warm-up game. He stayed on with the team hoping to be fit for the second Test in Perth but was eventually ruled out of the remainder of the series and sent back home for an extensive rehabilitation programme. Efforts were then on to get the batsman fit for the series but the severity of the injury dashed his hopes. Mayank Agarwal later replaced him.

Shaw is yet to return to competitive cricket since suffering the injury but he is definitely desperate to do so as his latest Instagram post suggested.

He posted a picture with the lines: “Aapna Time Aayega… Injury se Fit Hoke…. Mein Aur Run Banayega… Apna Time Aayega… “
