The 14-year-old admitted that playing in England helped improving his technique a lot. "Over there I gained a lot of experience. It was not easy playing there due to the cold climate but still I managed over there. I was playing lot of matches and the coaches would tell me to play the correct cricketing shots." He used to travel 70 kms daily from Virar to come to the city for practice and for playing matches, but now Prithvi and his father live in a one-room rented apartment in Santacruz. His father has a small garment business. Prithvi's cricketing needs are taken care by Sunil Gavaskar's Professional Management Group (PMG), which gives him a monthly stipend.
