Shaw, 18, reached his hundred off just 99 balls to surpass the record of Abbas Ali Baig.
The opener is also the fourth youngest player of all time to hit a debut ton and the second youngest Indian to make a Test century after Sachin Tendulkar.
He eventually fell for 134, including 19 fours, as India closed on 364-4.
